**President Trump Gives Hamas Deadline to Respond to 20-Point Gaza Peace Proposal**
*By Christian Datoc | September 30, 2025 | Washington Examiner*
President Donald Trump announced that he plans to give Hamas the remainder of the week to respond to his 20-point proposal aimed at establishing peace in Gaza.
Trump touted his Gaza peace plan amidst warnings from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who stated that Hamas can resolve the conflict “the easy or the hard way.”
“We’ve killed about 25,000 Hamas members,” Trump said. “So, certainly, they paid a big price for October 7. This is a whole new group. They keep coming, again and again. But their leadership has been killed three different times, so they’ve paid a big price.”
He added, “We hope that they’re going to have a nice, calm life. Maybe it won’t happen, but if it does, it’ll be one of the greatest things ever to happen. We’ll have actual peace in the Middle East.”
