Trump to send in American forces to eliminate Hamas amid Gaza truce? US president issues big warning

President Trump issued a sharp warning to Hamas, saying the U.S. “will have no choice but to go in and kill them” if the group continues to violate the Gaza ceasefire by killing civilians. Speaking from the White House, Trump said Hamas had initially been “taking out gangs” in Gaza but claimed the group’s recent actions against innocents “was not the deal.” He insisted that Hamas “must behave” or face severe consequences, while adding that the U.S. military would not be directly involved — “somebody will go in, and they’ll do the trick under our auspices.” The statement marks a major shift from Trump’s earlier view approving Hamas’s internal security sweep against rival gangs, which the U.S. had previously tolerated under the peace deal’s transitional period. His remarks heighten uncertainty over the ceasefire’s survival, which had already been shaken by Israel’s accusations that Hamas returned the wrong bodies of hostages. Trump’s message underscores that Washington expects Hamas to disarm, halt violence, and adhere fully to the U.S.-brokered peace plan or risk new international intervention.
