The United States State Department has announced that it possesses credible reports indicating that Hamas may be planning an attack on Palestinian civilians in Gaza, potentially violating the recently established ceasefire agreement. The department emphasized that such an action would be considered a serious breach of the accord brokered to end the two-year conflict between Israel and Hamas. While no additional details about the possible attack were provided, the statement assured that measures would be taken to safeguard the people of Gaza and uphold the ceasefire if necessary.

President Donald Trump responded to the situation by issuing strong warnings to Hamas, stating that continued violence against civilians could prompt intervention. However, he later clarified that the United States would not deploy troops to Gaza, suggesting that other regional actors would act under American guidance if required. This marks a notable shift in the president's stance, as he previously appeared unconcerned about Hamas's actions, referring to them as targeting dangerous gangs.
