US President Donald Trump has given Hamas until Sunday to accept a 20-point peace plan for Gaza. He warned that if the group refuses, "all hell" will break out. The plan, agreed with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calls for an immediate ceasefire and the release of 20 living Israeli hostages, along with the remains of others, in exchange for hundreds of detained Gazans. It also excludes Hamas from governing Gaza but leaves open the possibility of a future Palestinian state. Mediators are pressing Hamas, but leaders in Gaza appear ready to reject the deal. (PC: BBC)
