Trump Issues Last Warning Ultimatum to Hamas in Hostage Negotiations

President Trump issued a public ultimatum to Hamas on September 7, 2025, declaring it a "last warning" to release all remaining hostages or face unspecified military consequences. Trump's statement came as Israeli strikes intensified across Gaza and ceasefire talks had stalled for weeks. Special envoy Steve Witkoff was dispatched to the region but Hamas rejected the ultimatum, citing continued Israeli military operations as precluding negotiation.
