Trump Warns Hamas Over Gaza War, Pushes 20-Point Peace Plan Backed by Global Leaders:

In a bold move to end the ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict, former U.S. President Donald Trump has unveiled a 20-point peace plan and issued a stern warning to Hamas. Speaking to reporters outside the White House on Tuesday, Trump urged the Palestinian militant group to accept the proposal within a few days—or face severe consequences. “All Arab and Muslim countries are on board. Israel is on board. Now it’s Hamas’s turn,” Trump declared, emphasizing the urgency of the situation. “If Hamas doesn’t agree, it will be a very sad end for them.” The announcement came after Trump presented the peace plan during a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Both leaders shook hands following the announcement, signaling Israel's full support for the U.S.-led initiative. Key Highlights of Trump's 20-Point Gaza Peace Plan The plan calls for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages, and a withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza. It also demands that Hamas disarm completely and relinquish all control over Gaza’s governance. In exchange, the region would receive immediate humanitarian aid and support for reconstruction efforts. Additionally, Israel has agreed to release hundreds of Palestinian detainees as part of the agreement. The plan, while leaving room for the idea of a future Palestinian state, is not fully aligned with Israel’s stance—Prime Minister Netanyahu has firmly ruled out the creation of a Palestinian state under current conditions. Hamas Yet to Respond Hamas officials have confirmed that they are reviewing the proposal internally and discussing it with other Palestinian factions. A formal response is expected within three to four days, according to Trump. The plan has garnered support from several global powers, including France, Canada, India, and Russia, all of whom have praised the U.S. initiative as a potential turning point in one of the world’s longest-running conflicts. Death Toll Rises in Gaza Since the war erupted on October 7, 2023, over 66,000 Palestinians have lost their lives in Gaza, with the majority being women and children, according to humanitarian reports. The conflict began when Hamas launched a surprise attack in southern Israel, killing 1,200 people and taking around 250 hostages. Trump hinted at the historical magnitude of the proposal, telling U.S. military commanders, “This might be the biggest peace deal in 3,000 years. But Hamas has to say yes.” Global Stakes and Future Outlook As the world watches closely, the next few days could be critical. With global support and regional cooperation already in place, Trump’s 20-point peace plan presents a rare opportunity to halt the bloodshed. However, everything now hinges on Hamas’s response. If the militant group agrees, it could pave the way for a new era in Middle East relations. If not, Trump warns, the consequences could be devastating
