Trump gave Hamas a “final warning” on hostages and war

Request for Hostage Return

Donald Trump stated that the parties are working on the return of hostages and the cessation of the conflict. He announced this on his Truth Social blog. According to the American leader, Israel has already accepted the previously proposed conditions, and now Hamas must follow this example.

Consequences of Hamas’ Refusal

Trump outlined the consequences that await Hamas in case of refusal to fulfill the conditions. He emphasized that this is the last warning, and there will be no other chance:

“I warned Hamas about the consequences of refusal. This is my last warning, there will be no other!”

Israel’s Operation in Gaza

On August 21, the General Staff of the Israel Defense Forces announced the expansion of the military operation for the complete capture of the Gaza Strip and the destruction of Hamas. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved the military campaign plan. The army has already reached the outskirts of Gaza, indicating an intensification of military actions.

International Reactions

On August 23, the UN officially declared famine in the Gaza Strip for the first time since the beginning of the conflict. This statement increased international pressure with calls for a cessation of hostilities and the acceleration of humanitarian aid to the region.
