US President Donald Trump has issued his last warning to Hamas to accept his terms to end the war with Israel, stating that there will be no further negotiations if the Palestinian militant group refuses. Trump's statement comes as the clock ticks down on preventing a famine from spreading in Gaza, with the United Nations warning that the window to prevent this catastrophe is "closing fast." The Israeli government is reportedly "very seriously considering" a US proposal that envisions the release of all hostages on the first day of a truce and the end of the war in Gaza. However, Hamas has so far refused to accept the deal.
