Trump Warns Hamas Against Disarmament Delays, US Israel May Enforce

President Donald Trump emphasized that Hamas must honor the peace agreement with Israel and warned of severe consequences if they fail to comply, stating he would support eradicating or disarming the group, potentially through proxies like Israel, but without U.S. boots on the ground. Trump acknowledged that Hamas promised to disarm during ceasefire negotiations but noted there is no fixed timeline for this disarmament, though he has a personal threshold after which action would be taken. He described Hamas as a violent group with internal factions causing instability and violence, including reprisals and executions. Trump also highlighted his role in brokering the Abraham Accords and expressed optimism about more countries, including Saudi Arabia, joining the peace agreements. While his peace plan initially considered relocating Gaza's population, it now supports rebuilding Gaza with housing funded by wealthy regional countries, with backing from Arab leaders and Qatar's leadership. He criticized previous U.S. administrations for abandoning Israel and supporting Iran, underscoring the strategic importance of diminishing Iran's regional influence to achieve peace.
