Trump’s Fiery Message to Hamas
In his latest outburst, U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to “kill” Hamas if the bloodshed in Gaza continues. Posting on his Truth Social account, Trump said the U.S. “will have no choice but to go in and kill them” if the internal violence doesn’t stop.
This remark adds yet another layer of confusion to Washington’s stance on the Middle East crisis. Just days earlier, Trump had brushed off the same clashes as an “internal cleanup” within Gaza following the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas.
Ceasefire, Hostage Deal, and Escalating Tensions
The ceasefire—which went into effect last week after two years of fighting—was a key part of Trump’s so-called peace plan for Gaza. It included conditions like the return of hostages, both living and deceased, within a set deadline that expired earlier this week.
As per the deal, Hamas had released 20 hostages alive and handed over the remains of ten others. Israeli authorities later confirmed that nine of those bodies were of previously known hostages. Officials said 28 individuals were believed to have been held in Gaza before the exchange.
Israel’s National Institute of Forensic Medicine also identified the remains of two more hostages on Thursday, heightening pressure on Hamas to release or return others still believed to be in captivity.
Trump’s “No Choice” Warning
In his earlier remarks this week, Trump had suggested that the internal violence “didn’t bother” him much, claiming Hamas had taken out “a couple of gangs that were very bad.” But his latest post marks a stark shift in tone — one that sounds more like a threat than diplomacy.
“They will disarm, and if they don’t, we will disarm them — quickly and perhaps violently,” Trump had said earlier in the week.
It’s unclear what specific actions the U.S. might take to enforce these warnings. As of now, neither the White House nor the Pentagon has issued any operational statement backing Trump’s claims.

What This Means for Gaza and U.S. Policy
Trump’s mixed messaging — swinging from dismissal to open threats — raises questions about America’s strategy in Gaza. Analysts say this could be part of a larger pressure campaign to keep Hamas in check after the fragile ceasefire.
However, critics argue that such language could undermine ongoing diplomatic efforts, risking another escalation in a region still reeling from years of violence.
For now, Gaza remains tense, with the world watching closely as both sides weigh their next move.
