ISRAEL: Trump Sets Sunday Deadline For Hamas To Agree Terms
Oct-03 14:45
US President Donald Trump has posted on Truth Social demands for Hamas to accept a 20-point peace deal by 18:00ET (23:00BST, 00:00CET) on Sunday, 5 October, warning, "If this LAST CHANCE agreement is not reached, all HELL, like no one has ever seen before, will break out against Hamas."
- Speaking earlier today at the French Institute of International Relations in Paris, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty said Cairo “is coordinating with our brothers in Qatar and with our colleagues in Turkey in order to convince Hamas to respond positively to this plan”. Abdelatty said that while there are "a lot of holes" in the 20-point plan agreed by Trump and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu earlier in the week, there was widespread agreement that “Hamas has no role in the day after” and the group must lay down its arms.
- Just hours ago, Sky News Arabia reported that Hamas had requested additional time to study the proposal. "According to informed sources, it does not appear that Hamas will announce a complete rejection, but rather will adopt a "gray" response based on the principle of "yes, but," in an effort to maintain room for maneuver in the negotiations."
- Ibrahim al-Madhoun, director of the Palestinian media organisation VEMED told Sky, "Hamas will respond positively, but full acceptance is not on the cards", as "There are matters that Hamas has no right to agree to, and this requires a unified Palestinian decision."
