Donald Trump has issued a strong warning to take military action in Gaza against Hamas, following the recent ceasefire. The US President expressed his concern over alleged killings by Hamas in Gaza and threatened to intervene if the violence continues. Trump emphasized the need for Hamas to disarm, stating that failure to do so could result in swift and potentially forceful action.
Recent reports have highlighted clashes between Hamas and various factions in Gaza, some of which have received support from Israel. Both Israel and Hamas have accused each other of violating the ceasefire agreement. A senior Hamas official accused Israel of undermining the ceasefire through alleged shootings that resulted in multiple casualties.
The situation in Gaza has been complicated by the presence of armed groups and powerful local families, some of whom have been accused of exploiting humanitarian aid for personal gain. Recent incidents, including the killing of Palestinians by Israel and reports of possible executions, have raised concerns about human rights violations.
In a separate development, Trump announced plans for a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Budapest to discuss efforts to resolve the conflict in Ukraine. The meeting follows a previous encounter in Alaska that did not lead to significant progress. The Hungarian Prime Minister expressed readiness for the upcoming meeting, while US officials are set to engage in talks with Russian counterparts in the coming week.
