Listen to this article 2 min President Donald Trump issued his "last warning" to Hamas to accept his deal and release the remaining hostages or face the consequences. "Everyone wants the hostages HOME. Everyone wants this War to end," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "The Israelis have accepted my Terms. It is time for Hamas to accept as well." "I have warned Hamas about the consequences of not accepting," he continued. "This is my last warning, there will not be another one! Thank you for your attention to this matter." Last month, Trump said the remaining hostages would only be returned when Hamas is "confronted and destroyed." At the time, Hamas was citing alleged progress in ceasefire talks. WHITE HOUSE DEMANDS ALL GAZA HOSTAGES RETURN HOME 'THIS WEEK' AMID STALLED TALKS Hamas militants Hamas terrorists stand guard in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, Feb. 22, 2025. (Reuters/Hatem Khaled/File Photo) In July, the U.S. and Israel pulled negotiators from Qatar after Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff said Hamas showed a "lack of desire to reach a ceasefire" and was likely not negotiating in good faith. On Aug. 26, Witkoff told Fox News’ Bret Baier on "Special Report" that he and Trump wanted the hostages home that week. "There’s been a deal on the table for the last six or seven weeks that would have released 10 of the hostages out of the 20 who we think are alive," he said, noting that he believes Hamas is "100%" to blame for the hold-up.

(Andrew Harnik/Getty Images) Witkoff did not elaborate on what is delaying the hostages’ return, nearly two years after they were taken in the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel. Fifty hostages continue to be held by Hamas, only 20 of whom are assessed to still be alive. Trump previously predicted in late August that there would be a "conclusive" end to the war in Gaza within the next "two to three weeks," though he did not say how this would be accomplished.
