Trump tells Hamas to disarm and warns: 'If they don't I'm gonna make them disarm'
The Daily Mail ^ | 14 Oct 2025 | ROSS IBBETSON and ELINA SHIRAZI

Donald Trump has threatened to forcibly disarm Hamas if they refuse to give up their weapons as the Gaza ceasefire deal hangs by a thread.

'They will disarm — and if they don't I'm gonna make them disarm,' the president told reporters at the White House on Tuesday. 'They know what I mean.'

Trump warned that America stood ready to bring about Hamas's disarmament 'quickly and perhaps violently.'

It comes amid fears that the fragile ceasefire could unravel at any moment as Hamas has failed to deliver the deceased hostages, the Gaza Strip has descended into bloody gang warfare and Israel is refusing to open the Rafah border crossing to aid.

Trump said that the jihadists 'misrepresented' how many dead hostages they would be able to deliver, originally stating 'they had 26, 24'. Only eight coffins have been retrieved from Gaza so far, including another four released tonight.

'It seems they don't have that because we're talking about a much lesser number. But that's a very tough subject. I want them back. That's what they said. I want them back,' he said.

Trump also told reporters that Hamas 'took out two very evil gangs' in Gaza and 'killed a number of them,' a development he said 'didn't bother me much.'

Hamas faces violent opposition from several armed gangs in the Strip that have sprung up after Israel wiped out the terrorists' leadership.

Trump returned from Egypt late last night after signing a historic peace deal and speaking in Israel following the release of 20 hostages by Hamas.

Trump is gonna make them disarm?

So now that the Israel military has pulled out, the U.S. military is going in?

At this point, Hamas is the equivalent of ISIS. We didn’t tolerate ISIS back then.

An imbecilic post.

A strange rationale for the U.S. fighting Israel's wars.

I guess Israel decided it had taken enough casualties, and it's time to send in the Americans.

If the U.S. really needs to take out Hamas, send in the IDF. We pay them enough.

Imbecilic posts are all the Israel-last folks have.

How so?

Trump said, "I'm gonna make them disarm."

What else can that mean other than sending in the U.S. military?

And the IDF has pulled out as part of Trump's peace deal.

Please explain how the post is "imbecilic"?

1. The IDF pulled out as part of Trump's peace deal.

2. Trump said, "I'm gonna make them disarm."

3. That implies sending in the U.S. military.

So it seems that now that the Israeli military pulled out, the U.S. military is going in.

Not an imbecilic statement, but a perfectly logical fit with the facts and Trump's statement.

We have these things called “airplanes”. They carry these things called “bombs” and “missiles”.

Look into them.

You might learn something.

Actually they haven’t.

But you knew that.

Nothing John Wayne, Clint Eastwood , Mark Wahlberg or Morgan Freeman wouldn’t have said.

By the way, all four (and I) are Geminis.

So are these famous for diplomacy: JFK, Henry Kissinger, GHW Bush, Pope John Paul II and Donald Trump.
“In the intricate tapestry of dynamic traits in humans, some of them foster the art of diplomacy and holds harmony at unparalleled significance. In astrology, the Gemini sign possesses innate ability to mediate between the conflicts and cultivate the sense of unity.” Times of India on Geminis.

But if diplomacy doesn’t work out, there can be horror ahead for the enemy:
Boris Karloff, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing and Vincent Price.
Funny coincidences for those who do not believe in astrology to figure out.

Sorry, not biting....I tend to take Mark Twain’s advice when it concerns “arguing with a fool”

The current Hezbollah in Lebanon Solution. Show up armed around Lebanon or setting up weapons areas not verified by trustworthy sources in Lebanon government/military, then get exploded by IDF. Happening almost daily in Lebanon. IDF remains in a majority of Gaza territory.

They didn’t pull out. They restaged.

Has anybody considered that Hamas doesn’t know where the dead bodies are? Dead things tend to stink and rot.
You aren’t going to keep them around where you live, for very long.
Feed the bodies to the pigs, Cremate them, Bury them somewhere they won’t interfere with your life,
but get rid of it.

And ships in the region with those strange things called missles.

As if there is anything left to bomb.
