President Donald Trump told reporters Tuesday that he is giving Hamas “three to four days” to respond to the Gaza peace plan he outlined beside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a day earlier.

“We’re going to do about three or four days. We’ll see how it is. All of the Arab countries are signed up. The Muslim countries are all signed up. Israel is all signed up,” the president said as he left the White House.

Pressed by CNN’s Alayna Treene on the timeline, Trump said that if Hamas does not agree to the deal, it’s going to be a “very sad end.”

“We’re just waiting for Hamas, and Hamas is either going to be doing it or not, and if it’s not, it’s going to be a very sad end,” Trump said.
