Palestinians are growing impatient with Hamas as the humanitarian situation in Gaza worsens and the terrorist organization has yet to accept the terms of President Donald Trump’s peace deal, Gazans told the New York Times (NYT).

Residents in the Gaza Strip told the NYT that Hamas has dragged the region’s people into a grueling war that has devastated thousands of regular people’s lives since the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks. Hamas has until Saturday at the latest to accept or deny the proposed peace plan after Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to the terms on September 30.
