WASHINGTON, Oct. 3 (Xinhua) — US President Donald Trump on Friday set Sunday as the deadline for Hamas to accept a 20-point plan to end the war in Gaza.

On his TruthSocial social media page, the US president wrote that Hamas is being given one last chance. An agreement must be reached by 6:00 PM ET on Sunday, or else "Hamas will face a hell like no one has ever seen."

He also called on Palestinians to immediately leave dangerous areas and move to safer parts of the enclave.

On September 29, the US presidential administration presented a 20-point plan for Gaza following talks between Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House.

The plan calls for a ceasefire in exchange for the release of hostages, a phased Israeli withdrawal, demilitarization of Gaza, and international oversight of Gaza's reconstruction and governance after the conflict ends, as well as the exclusion of Hamas from the enclave's governance structure.

According to the terms of the deal, Israel will cease hostilities and withdraw to agreed-upon lines. Hamas must release all hostages and return the bodies of the dead within 72 hours of Israel's public acceptance of the agreement. In exchange, Israel will release 250 prisoners sentenced to life imprisonment and 1,700 Gazans detained after October 7, 2023. Disarmed Hamas members who commit to peaceful coexistence will be granted amnesty, and those who wish to leave Gaza will be granted safe passage to host countries.

At a press conference after the meeting, B. Netanyahu endorsed the US plan, stating that it meets Israel's main goals: the return of hostages, the elimination of Hamas's military potential, the end of the group's political presence, and a guarantee of the demilitarization of Gaza. –0–
