US President Donald Trump on Sunday gave what he declared was his “last warning” to Hamas to agree to his terms for ending the war, adding that Israel had accepted his proposed ceasefire and hostage-release agreement.

The message, sent in a social media post, doesn’t specify what those terms are. But Channel 12 reported Sunday that the current US proposal envisions the release of all hostages on the first day of a truce and, if subsequent talks bear fruit, the end of the war in Gaza.

“Everyone wants the hostages HOME. Everyone wants this war to end!” Trump wrote. “It is time for Hamas to accept [my terms] as well.”

It added that it “welcomes any move that helps the efforts to stop the aggression against our people,” affirming that it received “some ideas from the American side aimed at reaching a ceasefire.”

Hamas says it is in “constant contact with the mediators to turn these ideas into a comprehensive agreement that meets our demands.”

Israel has dismissed such statements in the past as propaganda, and accused Hamas of not negotiating in good faith and putting forth unrealistic demands.

Trump has issued a similar ultimatum before, threatening Hamas with “HELL TO PAY” in a
