The US president has said he would “straighten it out” if the militant group fails to honor the Gaza truce deal with Israel
US President Donald Trump has threatened to “eradicate” Hamas if it does not abide by its ceasefire agreement with Israel. Speaking to reporters at the White House on Monday, he said that he would give Hamas “a little chance” to honor the deal.
“We made a deal with Hamas that they’re going to be very good, they’re going to behave,” Trump said. “And if they’re not, we’re going to go and we’re going to eradicate them. If we have to, they’ll be eradicated.”
“They got very rambunctious, and they did things that they shouldn’t be doing. And if they keep doing it, then we’re going to go in and straighten it out. And it’ll happen very quickly and pretty violently, unfortunately.”
Israel and the Palestinian militant group agreed to a ceasefire in early October under Trump’s 20-point peace plan. On Sunday, however, violence flared again as a Palestinian attack that killed two Israeli soldiers triggered Israeli airstrikes that killed at least 28 people in Gaza. Israel and Hamas both recommitted to the ceasefire plan after that.
