President Donald Trump has delivered what he called a “last warning” to Hamas, urging the group to accept a U.S.-backed proposal to release hostages from Gaza — a deal he said Israel has already endorsed.
Although the White House did not reveal the terms of the agreement, Trump predicted a breakthrough “very soon” as he spoke to reporters in Washington after attending the U.S. Open final in New York.
“I think we’re going to get them all,” he said of the remaining hostages. There are 48 hostages still being held in Gaza, with 20 believed to be alive.
Reuters reported the Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said Monday that Israel had accepted Trump’s ceasefire proposal. Israeli officials did not immediately reply to NBC News’ request for comment.
On Sunday, Hamas said it had received “some ideas” from the U.S. through mediators, and it was in contact with them to “develop these ideas into a comprehensive agreement.”
