U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a strong warning to Hamas after reports emerged that members of the group executed fellow Palestinians during an ongoing ceasefire with Israel.
In a post shared on Truth Social on Thursday, Trump wrote, “If Hamas continues to k!ll people in Gaza, which was not the Deal, we will have no choice but to go in and kill them. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
The warning came after disturbing footage surfaced online showing alleged public executions in Gaza.
The act, according to Trump, violated the terms of the ceasefire deal brokered earlier this month.
However, Trump clarified that U.S. forces would not directly intervene in any renewed offensive.
“It’s not going to be us, we won’t have to,” he explained during a briefing at the Oval Office.
“There are people very close, very nearby that will go and they’ll do the trick very easily, but under our auspices.”
The President, who has been actively involved in Middle East peace negotiations, previously expressed confidence that the conflict was nearing its end.
At one point, Trump had claimed the war was “effectively over.”
He also seemed unfazed by initial reports that Hamas was cracking down on so-called “gangs” within Gaza.
“They did take out a couple of gangs that were very bad,” Trump said on Tuesday. “And that didn’t bother me much, to be honest with you. That’s OK.”
But with fresh evidence of violence emerging, Trump has now demanded full compliance with the peace agreement.
Under his 20-point peace plan, Hamas was expected to surrender its weapons and relinquish political control in Gaza.
As part of the deal, Hamas fighters who wished to leave were to be granted safe passage to other countries.
However, the group has reportedly clashed with rival Palestinian factions since Israeli forces withdrew from key areas.
During his meeting with Argentinian President Javier Milei, Trump restated that Hamas must adhere to the agreed terms or face severe consequences.
“They will disarm, and if they don’t do so, we will disarm them, and it’ll happen quickly and perhaps violently,” Trump warned.
Meanwhile, U.S. officials have said they continue to monitor the situation closely but confirmed no immediate plans for American troop deployment.
