Trump says Hamas must disarm very soon or "there will be hell to pay"
President Trump said after a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Monday that Hamas must disarm soon or "there will be hell to pay." He said the next phase of the Gaza peace plan could move forward quickly if Hamas disarms.
Standing alongside Netanyahu at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, Mr. Trump also claimed dozens of other countries that supported the peace deal are ready to "wipe out" the terrorist group if Hamas doesn't disarm, but he did not name any of them.
The president said of Hamas, "They're going to be given a very short period of time to disarm." Standing alongside Netanyahu, Mr. Trump added, "And we'll see how that works out. Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will be in charge of that, from our side. But if they don't disarm, as they agreed to do — they agreed to it — then there will be hell to pay for them. And we don't want that. We're not looking for that. But they have to disarm within a fairly short period of time."
"We have 59 countries that signed on, big countries, countries that are outside of the Middle East as you know the Middle East," the president added. "They want to go in and wipe out Hamas. They don't want Israel, they don't need Israel; they want to do it because it's the right thing to do. Because they were for the deal, based on the fact that Hamas pledged, they swore, that they were going to disarm. Now, if they're not going to disarm, those same countries will wipe out Hamas."
Mr. Trump said he and Netanyahu still don't agree completely on the West Bank.
