Trump: Hamas will be 'blown away very quickly' if it doesn't disarm in coming weeks

United States President Donald Trump warned that if Hamas does not disarm within the coming weeks, the group will be 'blown away very quickly.' Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, Trump claimed that Hamas has agreed to give up its weapons, though the organization has publicly denied this. He emphasized that the international community, including dozens of countries, is prepared to take action against Hamas if it fails to comply.

Trump also discussed the formation of an international force tasked with securing Gaza and gradually replacing Israeli forces, though some countries have withdrawn from participation. The mandate for this force has reportedly shifted to focus on border security and humanitarian aid rather than direct military action. Meanwhile, tensions persist between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the involvement of Turkish and Qatari representatives in Gaza's governance, with Netanyahu opposing their participation. The Israeli leader is expected to travel to Washington for further discussions.
