United States President Donald Trump has delivered a forceful ultimatum to Hamas, urging the group to disarm swiftly under the current ceasefire arrangement or face severe repercussions. This warning was issued during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago, highlighting mounting international pressure on Hamas.

At the same time, Hamas has officially confirmed the deaths of its prominent military spokesman, Abu Obeida, and several senior commanders, months after Israel claimed responsibility for their deaths in airstrikes. The group has introduced a new spokesperson using the same name, raising questions about leadership continuity and the stability of the ceasefire. The developments underscore growing uncertainty over the future direction of the conflict in Gaza.
