Trump: Hamas will disarm, or 'we will disarm them'

Source: The Hill

President Trump said Tuesday he expected Hamas to decommission its weapons as stipulated in the negotiated peace agreement, or the U.S. would step in.

“They’re going to disarm, because they said they were going to disarm,” Trump said. “And if they don’t disarm, we will disarm them.”

Trump later clarified he did not communicate directly with Hamas, but the message was delivered “through my people, at the highest levels.”

“They know I’m not playing games,” Trump said.

Despite what Trump claims, Hamas has not said they will disarm; there is no signed peace agreement.

So instead of bringing peace in Gaza, Trump is now going to involve American troops in that war?

He already sent 200 US troops to Israel 5 days ago.

Carpet bombing is an apt description though. Not technically of course, for those who like to quibble, but the result is the same.

No, it's help with the planned ethnic cleansing Bibi is looking for.

He has always wanted a war to play CIC at.
The very idea of war really turns him on.

At the same time as he wants the Nobel Peace Prixe
so badly he can taste it... and would even take over
Norway to get it.

Wajahat Ali said that Israel has already bombed Gaza and prevented food from getting to Palestinians who are starving. I don't have confirmation.

It's not hard for me to believe that the "truce" was nothing but a show. ALL this abomination administration does is a show.

and they let trump have all the limelight. Canada plays trump like a professional, I gotta give them credit. But there is no ceasefire, trump did nothing about bringing peace to the region. It's all smoke, guns, and drones. Hamas broken it... I think they've killed 5 just so far today; and Bibi is already back to bombing Gaza. And of course, trump is all for this because he wants that resort and golf course. Smoke and mirrors that mean nothing but never ending war in the Middle East. I don't know the answer, and what I think is too simplistic... a 2 state plan, Hamas completely out of government and disbanded as even an underground group; Bibi out of office and a real peacemaker in his place. Makes one long for the days of Sadat, Jimmy Carter, etc...

It just makes me sick to my stomach. And it's a global problem. I don't mean the religious angle... I mean the fighting for any and all reasons... just the flat out cruelty and evil. Some days I don't think I can stand to think about it one more minute, and then I scold myself because at least I'm whole, even if we're having to live through the cruelty and evil that is trump and his nazi administration.
