President Trump has once again blessed the Middle East with a deadline from his throne on Truth Social: Hamas has until 6pm ET Sunday—or technically 1am Monday in Gaza/Israel time—to say yes to his peace plan or face 'all HELL like no one has ever seen before.' A phrase ringing ominously louder than your neighbor’s home renovation. With over 750,000 Palestinians displaced and 66,000+ dead, the stakes couldn’t be higher—or the timing more casual, given Netanyahu already said yes Monday while Qatar and Turkey begged Hamas for extra time like it was group homework. Oh, and Trump’s now playing referee between Doha and Gaza’s command units, because apparently negotiators text better than they talk. Also, spoiler alert: 25,000 Hamas soldiers allegedly KIA, with the rest ‘militarily trapped,’ waiting on a Trump ‘GO’ that sounds less like peace and more like a hot-button game of 'Whac-A-Mole.'
