US President Donald Trump on Tuesday warned Hamas that it must lay down its weapons under the terms of the newly negotiated peace agreement, warning that the United States would take "violent" action if the group failed to comply.
"They're going to disarm because they said they were going to disarm and if they don't disarm, we will disarm them...It'll happen quickly and perhaps violently. But they will disarm," Trump said during a bilateral lunch with Argentinian President Javier Milei at the White House. Washington unveiled a USD 20 billion financial aid package aimed at stabilising Argentina’s struggling economy.
In a post on Truth Social, the US President also urged Hamas to release the bodies of the hostages held in Gaza. “ALL TWENTY HOSTAGES ARE BACK AND FEELING AS GOOD AS CAN BE EXPECTED. A big burden has been lifted, but the job IS NOT DONE”.
