United States President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Hamas, threatening to 'eradicate' the group if it violates the current ceasefire agreement with Israel. This comes as Vice President JD Vance travels to Israel to reinforce the fragile truce, which has already faced challenges with renewed violence and disputes over the return of hostages' bodies. Both Israel and Hamas claim to remain committed to the peace deal, but recent airstrikes and accusations of ceasefire breaches have tested its durability. The ceasefire, brokered by the United States, outlines a roadmap for Gaza's future and includes provisions for hostage and prisoner exchanges, yet its implementation has been rocky amid ongoing tensions and humanitarian concerns. The conflict, which began with Hamas's attack in October 2023, has resulted in significant casualties, with tens of thousands killed in Gaza and continued uncertainty over the path to lasting peace.
