Donald Trump warns Hamas over ceasefire violation, says 'End will be fast, furious and brutal'

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday warned that any further violation of the fragile ceasefire in Gaza would prompt a response that would be "fast, furious, and brutal." Trump said that several of the US's Middle East allies had expressed willingness to take military action against Hamas if the group continued to breach the ceasefire agreement.

Trump's post came as US Vice President JD Vance is visiting Israel alongside the US President's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff to strengthen the peace plan. Accompanied by his wife Usha Vance, the Vice President will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

"Numerous of our NOW GREAT ALLIES in the Middle East, and areas surrounding the Middle East, have explicitly and strongly, with great enthusiasm, informed me that they would welcome the opportunity, at my request, to go into



GAZA with a heavy force and ‘straighten out Hamas’ if Hamas continues to act badly, in violation of their agreement with us. The love and spirit for the Middle East has not been seen like this in a thousand years! It is a beautiful thing to behold!" Trump wrote on Truth Social.

He further said that he had told those countries and Israel "NOT YET," expressing hope that Hamas would "do what is right." Trump warned, "If they do not, an end to Hamas will be FAST, FURIOUS, & BRUTAL!"

Trump also thanked several countries, including Indonesia, for their assistance. "I would like to thank all of those countries that called to help. Also, I would like to thank the great and powerful country of Indonesia, and its wonderful leader, for all of the help they have shown and given to the Middle East, and to the U.S.A.," he added.
