President Trump expressed hope for a swift transition to phase two of the Gaza ceasefire. He warned Hamas of severe consequences if disarmament does not occur. The comments were made Monday during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Florida. Trump's 20-point peace plan mandates Hamas' disarmament.
Trump stated Israel has fully adhered to the plan, despite ongoing military actions in Gaza. He also indicated potential US support for a strike on Iran if nuclear or ballistic missile programs are revived. Iranian Supreme Leader's advisor, Ali Shamkhani, responded via X, threatening a harsh response to any aggression.
Trump emphasized the need for rapid disarmament when questioned about the timeline for phase two. The current status of Hamas' agreement to disarm remains unclear.
The US peace plan aims to de-escalate tensions between Israel and Palestine. Previous ceasefire attempts have faced challenges.
Negotiations and monitoring of the disarmament process are expected to follow. The international community awaits further developments.
