US President Donald Trump stated that he could instruct Israel to resume military operations in Gaza to eliminate Hamas but is currently giving the ceasefire a chance to succeed. Trump emphasized that the agreement with Hamas requires them to maintain good behavior, warning of swift and forceful action if violence continues. He expressed skepticism that recent attacks were authorized by Hamas leadership, attributing them to internal rebellion within the group. Trump also claimed that other countries have shown interest in intervening in Gaza, but for now, he is holding off on urging Israel to act.
