All Hell Will Break Loose: Trump Issues Ultimatum on Gaza Peace Deal, Warns of Unprecedented Force If Ceasefire Plan Fails
U.S. President Donald J. Trump has issued his most forceful warning yet over the ongoing war in Gaza, demanding that Hamas accept a sweeping ceasefire deal by Sunday 6 PM (Washington D.C. time) or face what he described as “all HELL, like no one has ever seen before.”

Inside Trump’s ultimatum is the ambitious Trump-Netanyahu ceasefire plan--a sweeping diplomatic framework unveiled earlier this week that aims to end two years of relentless violence with a hostage exchange, disarmament of Hamas, and the complete reconstruction of Gaza under international supervision.
The Plan: High Stakes, Deep Fault Lines
The Trump-Netanyahu proposal is the most detailed peace framework since the war erupted in October 2023 following Hamas’s surprise cross-border attacks that killed 1,195 Israelis and led to the capture of 251 hostages. In response, Israel’s military launched a campaign that has so far left over 66,000 Palestinians dead, many of them civilians, and rendered parts of Gaza uninhabitable, according to UN reports.
Under the 21-point peace framework:
-
All Israeli hostages, both alive and dead, must be returned within 72 hours of Israel accepting the deal.
-
Israel must release 1,950 Palestinian detainees, including women and children.
-
Hamas members must disarm, surrender, or accept exile.
-
Governance of Gaza will shift to a technocratic committee, overseen by a newly created “Board of Peace” chaired by Trump and backed by international donors.
-
A US-led stabilization force will secure Gaza’s borders, train police, and replace Israeli military presence.
The plan also envisions a massive international reconstruction effort, a special economic zone, and strict exclusion of Hamas from future political power in Gaza.
Trump’s Warning: Final Deadline or Total Destruction
Trump’s statement, released just 72 hours before the ceasefire deadline, is designed to pile maximum pressure on Hamas. “An agreement must be reached with Hamas by Sunday evening,” he wrote. “If this LAST CHANCE agreement is not reached, all HELL will break out against Hamas.”
He added that nations across the Middle East--“great, powerful, and very rich”--have agreed to the deal, with Israel signing on, and that this deal spares the lives of all remaining Hamas fighters--but only if they comply now.
Otherwise, he warned, they will be “quickly extinguished.”
The statement signals a turning point in Trump’s post-presidency diplomacy, with the leader framing himself as the architect of a “3000-year” peace in the Middle East. “We will have peace in the Middle East one way or the other,” he declared. “The violence and bloodshed will stop.”
Who’s On Board—and Who Isn’t
According to sources familiar with the negotiations, Israel has accepted the plan, and several Gulf states, along with the United States, have signed off on the framework. However, Hamas has yet to formally respond, and its top leadership remains fragmented, with some figures reportedly in hiding or exile.

There is no mention in Trump’s message of the Palestinian Authority, nor of international legal mechanisms to address the war crimes allegations that have piled up on both sides.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has already issued arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas leaders, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is backing Trump’s initiative in what analysts say is also an attempt to deflect domestic political pressure and international legal scrutiny.
Peace or Power Play?
Trump’s hardline message has been widely viewed as both a diplomatic gamble and a political resurrection strategy, with 2026 elections looming and global attention once again fixed on his influence in international affairs.
The President’s messaging has drawn support from several Western allies, but also raised concerns among critics who see an absence of accountability mechanisms, particularly for Israeli conduct during the war.
By offering amnesty to surrendering Hamas fighters and barring them from political life while establishing a U.S.-chaired transitional body, the plan aims to redraw the political map of Gaza--without elections, local mandates, or legal recourse for victims of war.
