JERUSALEM, Israel – Hamas continues to defy President Trump and other leaders by keeping control of its weapons, executing fellow Gazans, and refusing to give up the bodies of most of the deceased hostages. Meanwhile, in Lebanon, some Christian leaders are signaling that it’s time for an end to hostilities with Israel.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump again warned Hamas, saying, “If Hamas continues to kill people in Gaza, which was not the Deal, we will have no choice but to go in and kill them.”
When asked later if his post meant that U.S. troops would go into Gaza, Trump responded, “No, I didn’t say who would go in, but somebody will go in. It’s not going to be us. We won’t have to. There are people very close, very nearby, that will go, and they’ll do the trick very easily. But under our auspices.”
The comments came after reports of Hamas executing Gazans from other clans and the terror group’s refusal to lay down its weapons.
Israel accuses Hamas of breaking the Trump-mediated agreement, having not yet returned all of the deceased hostages. Only nine have been returned so far, with 19 more still held in the Gaza Strip.
Shosh Bedrosian, spokesperson at the National Public Diplomacy Directorate, declared, “A callous, barbaric terror group is continuing to hold onto these bodies, as their families innocently wait to give their loved ones a dignified Jewish burial. Now this is what Israel is up against, and the Prime Minister is determined, committed, and working tirelessly to return all, ALL, of our fallen hostages.”
