Trump Warns Hamas: "Will Go In And Kill Them" If Gaza Internal Violence Continues

President Donald Trump has issued a stark ultimatum to Hamas, threatening US military intervention if internal bloodshed persists in Gaza following the recent ceasefire. Trump demands Hamas disarm while Gaza faces a humanitarian crisis as local armed groups reportedly hijack aid amid the power vacuum left by Israeli military operations.

Trump Threatens To Go In And Kill Hamas If Gaza Killings Continue

President Donald Trump issued a stark warning to Hamas, declaring that if internal bloodshed continues in Gaza, the United States "will have no choice but to go in and kill them."

This severe statement follows Trump's previous dismissal of the violence within Gaza that has occurred since the implementation of the ceasefire and hostage agreement between Israel and Hamas last week, marking a significant development in the two-year conflict.

Earlier this week, Trump appeared indifferent to Hamas's actions against certain factions in Gaza, stating that the militant group had eliminated "a couple of gangs that were very bad" and had killed several gang members. "That didn't bother me much, to be honest with you," he remarked.

However, the President has now clarified that his tolerance for Hamas-led violence against rival groups within the devastated territory is strictly limited.

"They will disarm, and if they don't do so, we will disarm them, and it'll happen quickly and perhaps violently," Trump asserted firmly.

Before the current conflict escalated, Hamas-run police had maintained relative public order in Gaza for 18 years since taking power, though they simultaneously suppressed opposition. These security forces have largely disappeared in recent months as Israeli military operations seized significant portions of Gaza and targeted Hamas security personnel with airstrikes.

The resulting power vacuum has been filled by influential local families and armed groups, including some anti-Hamas factions supported by Israel. Many of these groups face accusations of intercepting humanitarian aid shipments and selling them for profit, exacerbating Gaza's severe food crisis.
