US-President Donald Trump has issued a sharp warning to Hamas, threatening to deploy American troops to Gaza if killings by the militant group persist. The statement comes just days after Trump returned from Egypt, where world leaders praised him for brokering a fragile ceasefire that has so far held.
The American leader’s remarks appeared to be spurred by growing frustration in Israel. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has voiced anger over Hamas’s refusal to return the bodies of slain Israeli hostages, a move that has stirred outrage in Jerusalem.
Trump took to Truth Social, warning that if Hamas continues its attacks, “we will have no choice but to go in and kill them,” signaling that his administration’s tolerance for Hamas’s actions is wearing thin.
The Israeli premier recently warned that Israel “knows how to act accordingly” if the group fails to return the remains. Analysts say the synchronized rhetoric suggests a rare alignment between the two leaders on the use of force should the ceasefire collapse.
