President Donald Trump warned on Tuesday that “an end to Hamas will be FAST, FURIOUS, & BRUTAL” if the terrorist organization continues to violate the terms of the peace deal in the Middle East.
In a Tuesday statement on Truth Social, Trump wrote, “Numerous of our NOW GREAT ALLIES in the Middle East, and areas surrounding the Middle East, have explicitly and strongly, with great enthusiasm, informed me that they would welcome the opportunity, at my request, to go into GAZA with a heavy force and ‘straighten [out] Hamas’ if Hamas continues to act badly, in violation of their agreement with us.”
The president explained that the kind of “love and spirit” on display for the Middle East region has not been witnessed in “a thousand years.” Trump noted that he told Israel and the other countries in the Middle East “NOT YET” with regard to a heavy force being deployed in Gaza.
“There is still hope that Hamas will do what is right,” Trump said. “If they do not, an end to Hamas will be FAST, FURIOUS, & BRUTAL!”
Trump’s warning to Hamas comes after the terrorist organization has been accused of repeatedly breaking the ceasefire agreement and peace deal with Israel. Fox News reported that Israeli military sources told the outlet on Sunday that two Israel Defense Forces soldiers were killed by terrorist operatives in southern Gaza following the ceasefire. The outlet noted that Israel responded by conducting air and ground strikes in southern Gaza and by suspending humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.

In another statement on Truth Social last week, Trump warned, “If Hamas continues to kill people in Gaza, which was not the Deal, we will have no choice but to go in and kill them.”
Vice President J.D. Vance also issued a major warning to Hamas on Tuesday while speaking at the Civilian Military Cooperation Center in Israel.
“Our warning to Hamas is very straightforward: the terms of the 20-point plan that the president put out there is very clear. It’s supported not just by Israel, but by all of our Gulf Arab friends. It’s that Hamas has to disarm,” Vance said. “It’s that Hamas has to actually behave itself and that Hamas, while all the fighters can be given some sort of clemency, they’re not going to be able to kill each other, and they’re not going to be able to kill their fellow Palestinians.”
Vance added, “Right now, where I stand, I feel confident that we’re going to be in a place where this peace lasts, where it’s durable, and if Hamas doesn’t cooperate, then, as the president of the United States has said, Hamas is going to be obliterated.”
