President Donald Trump on Tuesday said the Hamas terrorist network has up to four days to accept his 20-point peace plan to end the war in the Gaza Strip or face “a very sad end.”
“We’re going to do about 3 or 4 days. We’ll see how it is,” he told reporters. “Now, all of the Arab countries are signed up. The Muslim countries all signed up. Israel’s all signed up.
“And Hamas is either going to be doing it or not. And if it’s not, it’s going to be a very sad end,” he added.

“The ministers affirm their readiness to engage positively and constructively with the United States and the parties toward finalizing the agreement and ensuring its implementation, in a manner that ensures peace, security, and stability for the peoples of the region,” the joint statement said.
Similarly, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron — both of whom have said they now recognize the “State of Palestine” despite Washington’s opposition to the move — championed Trump’s peace plan in separate statements.
The 20-point proposal was met with mixed reviews in Israel, where hard-right officials within Netanyahu’s own coalition fiercely rejected the prime minister’s acceptance of the plan.
Netanyahu’s finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, renewed questions over the fate of the prime minister’s coalition after he condemned the agreement on Tuesday as a “resounding diplomatic failure” and said it amounted to “a closing of eyes and turning our backs on all the lessons of Oct. 7.”

In contrast, fierce critics of Netanyahu, including Opposition leader Yair Lapid, said he is “convinced that amidst the tangle of interests and the pressing timeline dictated by the hostages’ situation, what President Trump presented yesterday is the only plan with feasibility.”
Blue and White Party leader, Benny Gantz, also confirmed that his party “would not allow petty politics to sabotage the plan.”
