In a dramatic twist for Middle East diplomacy, Hamas announced Friday it has agreed in principle to release all Israeli hostages and transfer control of Gaza to independent Palestinian leaders under former U.S. President Donald Trump’s peace proposal. The move comes as Trump set a Sunday deadline for the group to accept the deal, warning of 'all HELL' breaking loose otherwise. 💥
What’s in the Deal?
The 20-point plan includes a hostage-prisoner swap, phased Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, and international oversight for rebuilding the war-torn enclave. Hamas members disavowing violence could get amnesty – or safe passage out of Gaza. 📜
Trump’s High-Stakes Gamble
Posting on Truth Social, Trump called this a 'last chance' for peace, claiming Middle Eastern nations and the U.S. have aligned for a historic agreement. Israel’s PM Netanyahu endorsed the plan but warned Israel would 'finish the job' if Hamas balks. 🤝
UN Backs Breakthrough
UN chief Antonio Guterres welcomed Hamas’s statement, urging all parties to 'seize this opportunity.' The plan’s success now hinges on 72-hour implementation talks – and whether Gaza’s residents can safely navigate the conflict zone during transitions. 🌍
