Trump Issues Deadline Post for Hamas to Accept Deal, Packed with False Claims
Washington (QNN)- US President Donald Trump issued a dramatic ultimatum on Truth Social, demanding Hamas agree to what he described as a “peace deal” by Sunday evening. His post, however, is filled with falsehoods, inflated numbers, and misleading historical claims.
Trump claimed more than 25,000 Hamas fighters have already been killed. He suggested that the rest are “militarily trapped” and waiting for his order to be wiped out.
This figure does not match US intelligence. Washington estimates Hamas had 25,000 to 30,000 fighters before the genocide. US assessments suggest 20–35% of those resistance fighters have been killed since October 7, 2023. That translates to about 4,000 to 8,750 deaths; far fewer than the number Trump presented.
Misleading Historical Narrative
Trump also wrote that the war in Palestine has lasted 3,000 years. Historians and political analysts reject this claim as baseless. No evidence supports the idea of an unbroken conflict lasting millennia.
The post further accuses Hamas resistance movement of killing Israeli women and children during the October 7 military operation. However, Israeli reports and survivor testimonies complicate this narrative. Evidence shows that an Israeli infant died that day due to the army’s own Hannibal Directive. Testimonies from Israeli survivors also indicate that Hamas fighters, in some cases, tried to protect Israeli settlers from Israeli fire.
Several investigations confirm that Hamas primarily targeted Israeli military bases, many of which were built inside settlements where ‘civilians’ lived. This overlap fueled civilian casualties but undermines Trump’s claim that Hamas deliberately killed women and children.
Dangerous Rhetoric
Trump’s post went beyond statistics. He told “innocent Palestinians” to leave Gaza for safer areas. He threatened that Hamas fighters would be “hunted down and killed.” Such language blurs the line between military targets and civilian populations, echoing Israeli narratives that justify large-scale civilian harm.
Trump has been known for parroting Israeli claims. He has repeatedly claimed that Hamas killed and burned babies and raped women, claims that were debunked by several Israeli and international investigations.
