Former U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a strong warning to Hamas, urging the group to surrender its weapons immediately. If not, Trump stated, the United States would ensure the militant group is disarmed — and possibly through swift and forceful means.
The remarks came during a White House meeting with Argentine President Javier Milei, where Trump clarified that the message was not delivered directly to Hamas but was relayed through his “people at the highest level.” He added firmly, “They know I’m not playing games.”
Trump’s sharp statement comes amid ongoing criticism of Hamas for its actions during the October 2023 attacks, particularly the delay in returning the bodies of hostages killed during the conflict with Israel. The group’s refusal has sparked outrage from both Israeli officials and international observers.
With tensions in the Middle East still high, Trump’s comments signal a no-tolerance stance toward armed militant groups and underline his assertive approach to foreign policy — a position that may shape global expectations if he seeks office again.
