US President Donald Trump stated that Hamas could be dealt with 'very quickly' if it fails to honor the ceasefire agreement, but emphasized a preference for giving the group a chance to comply. Speaking to reporters, Trump noted that while Hamas agreed to stop violence, recent actions have violated the terms of the deal. He highlighted the strong alliances formed in the Middle East and suggested that regional partners are ready to intervene if necessary, but urged patience for now.
Trump's comments were echoed in a social media post, where he described unprecedented cooperation among Middle Eastern countries and warned that any continued aggression by Hamas would be met with swift and forceful action. Vice President JD Vance, currently visiting Israel, reinforced the administration's stance, outlining clear expectations for Hamas and warning of severe consequences if the group does not cooperate. Despite these warnings, no specific timeline was provided for Hamas to meet the terms of the agreement.
