STORY: :: Trump says other countries will wipe Hamas out if it doesn't disarm quickly:: December 29, 2025:: Palm Beach, FloridaTRUMP: "Well, we talked about Hamas and we talked about disarmament, and they're going to be given a very short period of time to disarm. And we'll see how that works out. Steve Wyckoff and Jared Kushner will be in charge of that from our side. But if they don't disarm as they agreed to do, they agreed to it, and then there'll be hell to pay for them. And we don't want that. We're not looking for that. But they have to disarm within a fairly short period of time." //REPORTER: "If you don't see disarm in that short amount of time they're giving them, can you tell us what the next steps would be?"TRUMP: "It will be horrible for them. Horrible. Going to be really, really bad for them. And I don't want that to happen. But they made an agreement that they were going to disarm. And you couldn't blame Israel. By the way, we have other countries that will come in and do it. They said, 'let us do it for you.' If they don't, countries that were with them wanted the deal to be made, agreed that they would disarm. And now if they say they're going to disarm, that's fine. If they say they're not going to disarm, those same countries will go and wipe them out. They don't even need Israel."Israel and Hamas agreed in October to Trump's plan to end the war, which ultimately sees Israel withdrawing from Gaza and Hamas giving up its weapons and forgoing a governing role in the enclave.The first phase of the ceasefire included a partial Israeli withdrawal, an increase of aid and the exchange of hostages for Palestinian detainees and prisoners.
