Trump Threatens Hamas Over Disarmament as Hostage Deal Hits Snag

[lostincalifornia]

US President Donald Trump demanded that Hamas return the bodies of deceased hostages and threatened the militant group with retaliation if it does not lay down its arms.

Trump’s comments Tuesday came after Israel prepared to limit the aid it lets into Gaza, developments that threatened the fragile US-led ceasefire that the president celebrated in the region just one day earlier.

“If they don’t disarm, we will disarm them. They know I’m not playing games,” Trump told reporters at the White House during a meeting with Argentina’s president.

Asked by a reporter how the US would take away Hamas’ weapons, Trump replied “I don’t have to explain that to you.” The president said disarmament would have to occur within “a reasonable period of time,” without specifying further.

6. If only this was known before now, oh wait it was

Even if Hamas knew roughly where the bodies are, there's a mountain of rubble.

And from what I understand, Hamas was always resistant to giving up all arms. Kind of why peace is so hard given nobody trusts the other side(s) to give up their weapons.
