US President Donald Trump has issued a “last warning” to Hamas.
The Korean Herald reports Trump as saying, “The Israelis have accepted my terms. It is time for Hamas to accept as well. I have warned Hamas about the consequences of not accepting. This is my last warning.”
In a statement released shortly after, Hamas said it was ready to “immediately sit at the negotiating table” following what it described as “some ideas from the American side aimed at reaching a ceasefire agreement.”
US news outlet Axios reported that White House envoy Steve Witkoff sent a new proposal for a Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal to Hamas last week.
In early March, Trump issued a similar ultimatum to Hamas. He demanded that Hamas of Hamas to free all remaining hostages immediately and turn over the bodies of dead hostages, saying, if not, “It is OVER for you.”
Meanwhile, Israel’s army bombed a Gaza City residential tower on Sunday. It would be third after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the military was “deepening” its assault on the key urban centre.
