President Trump warned Thursday that the United States will have “no choice” but to use lethal force against Hamas if the militant group does not stop its renewed violence in Gaza.
“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. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The warning comes amid reports that Hamas has reasserted control in Gaza, launching a campaign of retribution following Israel’s withdrawal under a U.S.-brokered ceasefire. According to Reuters, Hamas fighters have killed at least 33 people since the ceasefire began last week. One widely circulated video showed several men being dragged into a Gaza City square and executed.
On Wednesday, the U.S. military also issued a stern message to Hamas, urging the group to “immediately suspend violence and shooting at innocent Palestinian civilians in Gaza.”
Residents in Gaza told Fox News Digital that Hamas fighters have returned to the streets and issued an ultimatum to suspected Israeli collaborators, giving them until Sunday to surrender and seek amnesty.
Hamas has also failed to uphold its agreement to return all deceased hostages to Israel. Families of the victims described the ongoing wait as “torturous.”
On Thursday’s episode of Fox & Friends, Orna Neutra — the mother of Israel Defense Forces Capt. Omer Neutra — said it is “devastating” to wait for her son’s remains to be returned.
“We came here on Sunday, prepared to receive him on Monday, and, as the day went by and only four hostages were released, and our son wasn’t among them, it was devastating,” she said.
Omer Neutra, a fallen platoon commander, is one of two American citizens whose bodies have not yet been returned by Hamas under the first phase of the peace deal.

The polls prove it — New Jersey is ready to FLIP RED. But the radical Left is pouring millions into their woke puppet Mikie Sherrill to stop it. Chip in NOW to help President Trump SAVE New Jersey!
This what happens when you release thousands of terrorist in exchange for a few Israel captives.
Apparently the only permanent way to deal with them is to kill them. I am in favor of capital punishment.
None of this was an issue until the foreign interlopers showed up and stole Palestinian land.
Trunp should have let Isreal go while they where kicking hamas’s ass!!!!!!
The US should have flattened Israel when they attacked the USS Liberty.
Hamas is not trustworthy the only why to solve this problem is to eradicate them.
???
What?
So what happened to the “Peace Deal”?
Oh, Hamas did not disarm.
What a scam!
Tell me why the “violence” of Hamas, who is dealing with terrorist groups backed by Israel (which Israel did in Syria, too) is the concern of us while Israel’s nonstop violence, land theft, and violation of international law is NOT?
Come on, it is Ham-Ass what do you expect?
Someone in the post is pro hamas and the other is pro israel. Personally I see Hamas as an impediment to any peace in that region. To Trump I say let Hamas have the punishment then let Israel go in and clean them all out. And a point here is Brits gave the land to the Jews after WWII. It did not belong to palestinians and it is worth noting here none of the Arab countries want the palestinians at all. They are trouble too and Israel needs to get a lease on them too. Rules and containment or just make them move to their fellow mooslimes as roomies! Palestinians have no legal claim to the land the Brits gave the jews. THAT IS HISTORY FACT!
