President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Hamas, threatening to take direct action against the group if it continues attacks in Gaza. The move comes after Hamas was seen on video publicly executing opponents in Gaza City, despite Trump’s peace plan. Trump’s message was posted on his Truth Social platform, where he warned that if Hamas continues to kill people in Gaza, ‘we will have no choice but to go in and kill them.’
The threats come amid growing concerns over Hamas’s actions, including the recent public executions of its rivals in Gaza City’s main square. Fox News Digital reported that Hamas fighters were reappearing in the streets and reasserting control, having issued an ultimatum giving Israeli collaborators until Sunday to surrender and seek amnesty.
Additionally, Hamas has failed to uphold its commitment to return all deceased hostages to Israel, with families describing the days left waiting as ‘torturous.’ Orna Neutra, mother of Israel Defense Forces Capt. Omer Neutra, told Fox News Digital that it is ‘devastating’ to wait for her son’s body each day. Omer, a fallen platoon commander, is one of two American citizens whose remains have yet to be returned by Hamas as part of the initial phase of the peace agreement.
Trump’s threats come as part of a broader narrative of retribution, with some critics suggesting his actions have marred the peace process. Orna Neutra criticized the terror group for continuing to torment families by withholding any word on future releases. ‘We spend sleepless nights waiting, since those who return to Israel usually arrive after midnight and aren’t identified until early morning,’ she said. ‘Each time, we wait and hope — only to learn he’s still not among them, and now Hamas says no one else can be freed.’
All remaining living hostages were returned to the Jewish state over the weekend, marking a small but significant step in the ongoing conflict.
