In a stark ultimatum amid the Israel-Hamas conflict, President Donald Trump has issued a deadline of 6 p.m. EST on Sunday (October 5, 2025) for Hamas to accept a proposed peace agreement. Trump, posting on social media, declared that “every country has signed on” to the deal, which is backed by major Middle Eastern nations, the U.S., and Israel.
He warned that failure to comply would unleash “all HELL, like no one has ever seen before” against Hamas, but emphasized that the agreement would bring lasting peace to the region “one way or the other” after over 3,000 years of strife.
“I am asking that all innocent Palestinians immediately leave this area of potentially great future death for safer parts of Gaza.”

Trump portrayed Hamas as a “ruthless and violent threat” for the October 7, 2023, massacre in Israel, which killed civilians including babies, women, and children. The deal, he claimed, would spare the lives of remaining Hamas fighters while ending the bloodshed.
