Trump: Hamas Must Disarm or Be Disarmed, Perhaps Violently
Reuters via Newsmax ^ | 14 October 2025

Posted on 10/14/2025 3:44:21 PM PDT by Mr. Mojo

President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he had communicated to Hamas that the militant group must disarm or it will be forced to.

On Monday, Hamas freed the last living Israeli hostages from Gaza, and Israel sent home busloads of Palestinian detainees under a ceasefire deal brokered by Trump, but Hamas has not publicly committed to downing its weapons.

"If they don't disarm, we will disarm them. And it will happen quickly and perhaps violently," Trump said during a meeting at the White House with Argentine President Javier Milei.

Trump said he communicated this to Hamas and they had agreed to disarm, as his 20-point peace proposal stated.

"I spoke to Hamas, and I said, you're going to disarm, right? Yes, sir, we're going to disarm. That's what they told me," Trump said, later clarifying that he passed the message through intermediaries.

Like the story of the farmer saying he trains his donkey with words. “But if he doesn’t listen to me then I give him a whack on the head with a two by four, to get his attention.”

Sounds like a plan. You either disarm yourself, or we’ll do it for you. Either way, it will be done.

President Trump should prank them.
  1. Take their weapons away.
  2. Amputate their arms.
  3. They are disarmed.

A wack with of a couple of MOPs perhaps? The over pressure alone would kill anyone in the whole tunnel complex.

Problem being is they WANT to die for their religion. So threats mean nothing to them.

Israel will have to return to their offensive, until there is no Hamas to shoot back.

"Send Newsom there."

He's a chicken-shit. He'd never go voluntarily.

Why is that a problem? I say we give them what they want.

The IDF will once again have to scour for booby-traps set by Hamas going back in, but I seriously doubt the IDF will give TWO SH!TS about collateral damage (Gazans) when they go back on offense next time. And YOU CAN BET Israeli surveillance drones are working Hamas territory 24/7 and will have good intel if they have to re-invade.

I'm reading that there is a potential groundswell of anti-Hamas sentiment growing in Gaza. If this reaches a high enough percentage of people, Hamas will have no choice but to disarm or cut-and-run. They can only execute so many Gazans.

There's tons of pressure on Hamas by Qatar and others. I'm surprised Hamas is still honoring the terms by continuing to send Israel bodies of their deceased. I pray Trump's peace plan sticks.. THE ART OF THE DEAL.

Press Q: “How long will it take Hamas to disarm?”

PRESIDENT TRUMP: “Well, they’re going to disarm because they said they were going to disarm, and if they don’t disarm, we will disarm them...They know that I am not playing games.”

“Hamas will disarm, and if they don’t, we will disarm them, and It will happen quickly and perhaps violently, but they will disarm. Do you understand me?”

Press: “How will you do that?”

President: “I don’t have to explain that to you.”
