The US president sets a deadline for a response to the 20-point plan; last chance by 6 p.m. local time (midnight in Italy).

Trump ultimatum to Hamas, 3 Oct. 2025 – The US president has imposed a peremptory deadline for accepting the peace agreement: “Hamas has until 6 p.m. on Sunday, 5 October to accept it. Then it will be hell.” With this clear statement, Trump reiterated that the 20-point plan to end the Gaza crisis requires a quick response from the Islamist movement.

Trump ultimatum to Hamas on Truth

In a post on Truth, the president argued that ‘every other country has accepted’ the framework of the agreement and threatened an extremely harsh military response in case of rejection. Trump also stated that, in his opinion, most Hamas fighters have already been neutralised and that only his authorisation would be needed to complete the job, while if the hostages and bodies were handed over, the agreement would spare the lives of the remaining fighters.

Trump ultimatum to Hamas: contents and terms of the 20-point plan

The plan presented by the White House includes, among other points, an immediate cessation of hostilities with the release of hostages within 72 hours of the agreement, the demilitarisation of the Gaza Strip, conditional amnesties for those who lay down their arms, and the creation of an international body for transitional management and reconstruction. Trump has repeatedly described the proposal as “the last chance” to avoid a large-scale military escalation.

Reactions and status of consultations

At the time of the president’s statement, Hamas had not yet taken a definitive position: sources within the movement said that the plan is still under internal review and consultation with other Palestinian factions. In the preceding hours, several Arab countries and international partners had expressed their willingness to support the text, while expressing reservations on some sensitive aspects.

Diplomatic mediation — with the involvement of Qatar and Egypt and talks conducted at various levels — continues, but the deadline set by Trump intensifies the pressure on all parties involved.

Trump’s ultimatum to Hamas: what does the deadline entail and what are the possible scenarios?

With Trump’s 5 October ultimatum to Hamas, the timeframe is clear: if Hamas does not give a positive response by midnight Italian time on Sunday, according to the US president, there will be “a response of unprecedented proportions”. Possible scenarios range from conditional acceptance (with negotiations on implementation) to rejection, which could prelude a large-scale military operation or targeted military actions, with unpredictable regional consequences.

Diplomatic and humanitarian impact

The stakes are high both diplomatically and humanitarily. An agreement would prevent further bombing and accelerate the delivery of large-scale humanitarian aid, while intensified military action could exacerbate the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip and complicate relations between Israel, Arab countries and international actors.

The state of negotiations: the next few hours will be decisive

The next few hours will be decisive: mediators and international partners are working to try to obtain a positive response or at least to gain time for broader mediation. The deadline imposed by Trump now focuses all attention on Gaza, Tel Aviv and regional diplomatic channels.
