'Move Quickly Or Bets Will Be Off': Trump To Hamas On Gaza Peace Plan

US President Donald Trump on Saturday warned Palestinian group Hamas to "move quickly" and agree to a peace deal with Israel or risk further devastation in Gaza.

"Hamas must move quickly, or else all bets will be off. I will not tolerate delay, which many think will happen, or any outcome where Gaza poses a threat again," Trump posted on his Truth Social page. "Let's get this done, FAST."

He also expressed appreciation that "Israel has temporarily stopped the bombing in order to give the Hostage release and Peace Deal a chance to be completed," although the enclave's civil defence agency said Israel carried out dozens of attacks on Gaza City overnight.

Trump's son-in-law and a senior envoy were heading to Egypt Saturday to finalise hostage release details, as the US president warned he would "not tolerate delay" by Hamas in implementing a peace plan with Israel.

A White House official confirmed to AFP that Jared Kushner and Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff are traveling to the region to address the finalization of details on the release of hostages and to discuss the deal pushed by the US president to bring an end to the conflict between Israel and Hamas.

The Palestinian militant group on Friday reacted positively to a plan that would end two years of war, saying it was ready to release all hostages and discuss details on the deal. 

Trump in turn called on Israel to "immediately" halt its bombings of the war-ravaged territory, although Washington's chief ally in the region said Saturday its troops were still operating in Gaza.

Hours later, the enclave's civil defense agency said at least 57 people have been killed since dawn in Israeli strikes, including 40 in Gaza City alone.
