Ceasefire Under Fire:
President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to Hamas, threatening to “go in and kill them” if the group continues targeting gangs and alleged Israeli collaborators in Gaza. He claims these actions violate the terms of the recently brokered ceasefire.
Policy Reversal:
Earlier this week, Trump had supported Hamas’s crackdown on criminal networks in Gaza. His latest statement marks a sharp pivot, signaling growing U.S. frustration with Hamas’s internal policing tactics.
Truth Social Post Sparks Alarm:
The threat was made via Trump’s Truth Social account, where he wrote,
“If Hamas continues to kill people in Gaza, which was not the Deal, we will have no choice but to go in and kill them.”
Diplomatic Fallout Looms:
The comment risks destabilizing the fragile ceasefire framework announced just days earlier, which aimed to secure prisoner releases and reduce hostilities.
