Trump: Hamas will disarm, or 'we will disarm them' [View all]

Source: The Hill

President Trump said Tuesday he expected Hamas to decommission its weapons as stipulated in the negotiated peace agreement, or the U.S. would step in.

“They’re going to disarm, because they said they were going to disarm,” Trump said. “And if they don’t disarm, we will disarm them.”

Trump later clarified he did not communicate directly with Hamas, but the message was delivered “through my people, at the highest levels.”

“They know I’m not playing games,” Trump said.

Despite what Trump claims, Hamas has not said they will disarm; there is no signed peace agreement.

So instead of bringing peace in Gaza, Trump is now going to involve American troops in that war?

He already sent 200 US troops to Israel 5 days ago.
