Donald Trump has issued an ultimatum of Hamas' terrorist organization on the release of Israeli hostages. The president warned me this was his last informing about this.

"Everybody wants the hostages back at home. Everyone wants this war to end! The Israelis have accepted my terms. It's time Hamas accepted them too" - Trump wrote on his actual Social social networking site. "I warned Hamas of the consequences of not accepting. This is my last warning, there will be no more!" - he added.

A series of threats to terrorists

This is another Trump threat to the Palestinian terrorist organization - the President's last appeal was made on Wednesday. He had previously announced that the deficiency of release of hostages would entail "hell" consequences.

On Friday, Trump said his administration is conducting "very deep negotiations with Hamas" to guarantee the release of the remaining Israeli hostages. He warned, however, that this is simply a hard situation, due to the fact that for terrorists hostages are the biggest bargaining leverage.

Uncertain number of survivors

"When there are only 10 or 20 people left, they will not be freed if you do not do much, and doing much means surrender (Hamas)" - Trump said. According to the Israeli army of 48 people inactive held by Hamas at least 20 are inactive alive.

However, on Friday Trump suggested that these numbers may be out of date. "It's 20 people, but I think among these 20 people there may have been people who late died, at least that's what I heard. I hope that's not true" - he told journalists in the White House.

Earlier peace proposals

Last period Hamas accepted the erstwhile offer of mediators from Qatar and Egypt, concerning a 60-day temporary ceasefire. Under this proposal, 10 surviving hostages would be released in exchange for the mass release of Palestinian prisoners.

This offer is based on a akin proposal presented in July by US peculiar Envoy Steve Witkoff, originally developed in cooperation with Israel. It is unclear what conditions Trump meant in his entry.
