Trump Warns Hamas To ‘Move Quickly’ To Release Hostages, Or ‘All Bets Will Be Off’

President Donald Trump pressured Hamas to “move quickly” to release the hostages in a Saturday morning post on Truth Social — or “all bets will be off.”

Trump also thanked Israel for “temporarily” ceasing “the bombing.”

The president, during a joint press conference on Monday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, announced a 20-point plan to end the war in Gaza, establish lasting peace, and rebuild the area.

The proposal drawn up by the Trump administration and agreed to by Israel would require Hamas to disarm and turn over the remaining hostages. In return, Hamas terrorists who agree to disarm would be given amnesty to live in Gaza or the option to be given safe passage elsewhere. Israel would also be forced to turn over “250 life sentence prisoners plus 1,700 Gazans who were detained after October 7th 2023, including all women and children detained in that context,” according to the document.

Multiple Middle Eastern nations have also expressed support for the plan, including Qatar and Egypt.

On Friday, Trump issued an ultimatum to Hamas, noting that they had until 6 p.m. ET on Sunday to accept the deal, or “all hell” would break loose. Shortly after on Friday, Hamas signaled that they are prepared to release the remaining hostages — though they don’t seem to be willing to disarm, which is a critical part of the peace plan.

“In this context, the movement affirms its readiness to immediately enter into negotiations through the mediators to discuss these details,” Hamas said.

Without Hamas agreeing to the other terms of the deal, however, Israel might not be willing to agree to the release of hundreds of prisoners.
