Trump issues "last warning" ultimatum to Hamas in hostage negotiations
Presidential threats replace diplomacy as Gaza talks collapse
🌍Foreign Policy🛡️National Security
On Sept. 7, 2025, President Trump posted 'This is my last warning' and urged Hamas to accept a proposed hostage deal.
Trump told reporters on Sept. 7, 2025 that he thought a Gaza deal could happen 'very soon' and that the U.S. was 'in very deep negotiation' with Hamas.
Hamas acknowledged receipt of 'some ideas' from the U.S. side through mediators on Sept. 7, 2025 and said it was discussing them.
Reports say a U.S. proposal would seek the release of all remaining hostages early in a truce, paired with releases of Palestinian detainees and further talks during a ceasefire; specifics remain contested.
The assertion that Trump has issued such ultimatums every month since taking office is unsupported by public reporting. Documented instances include Mar. 6, 2025 and Sept. 7, 2025.
Public threats and deadline rhetoric can increase pressure on negotiators, but experts disagree on whether deadlines speed releases or risk escalation.
