Hamas has tried to regain control of Gaza’s streets and has accused some Palestinians of being “collaborators” with Israel, but ongoing instability is one of several factors threatening the fragile ceasefire.
Speaking to reporters in Washington DC following his brief trip to the Middle East earlier this week, Trump talked about armed clashes following the withdrawal of Israeli troops.
“They killed a lot of gang members,” Trump said. “And to be honest with you I didn’t have much trouble. It’s OK, it’s some very bad gangs. You know it’s no different from other countries – like Venezuela sent their gangs over to us and we took care of those gangs.”
Trump had previously suggested that the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua was operating openly across the Americas. The President then discussed recent gang crime in Washington, DC.
“If you go back a while ago, this was one of the worst cities in the country. Now it’s safe. You can walk to work. Isn’t that nice?” He said.
Trump celebrated on Tuesday too another deadly attack One boat was said to be loaded with “narco-terrorists” taken to the Caribbean. This is the fifth such strike since September, when the US has increased its military presence in the region.
asked last month Asked about the possibility of a direct attack on the Venezuelan mainland and whether he was concerned about rising tensions with President Nicolas Maduro, Trump told reporters: “We’ll see what happens.”
Tuesday’s talks with media about Hamas, the terms of the ceasefire and what it means for peace in the region focused on US demands to disarm the group. However, Trump declined to explain how this would happen, other than to say that if it did not happen voluntarily, the US would ensure it happened “quickly and perhaps violently”.
Trump told reporters: “They will disarm. If they don’t disarm, we will disarm them.”
Asked ‘how would you do that’, Trump responded: “I don’t have to explain it to you, but if they don’t disarm, we will disarm them. They know I’m not playing games.”
He added: “We have told them that we want them to disarm. And if they don’t disarm, we will disarm them. And it will happen quickly, and probably violently.
“And I talked to Hamas, and said, ‘You’re going to disarm, right?’
“‘Yes sir, we are going to disarm’. That’s what they told me. They will disarm or we will disarm them. Understood?”
