Palm Beach, Florida: U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters Monday that Hamas must disarm within a short period under the Gaza ceasefire framework or face severe consequences, and said special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will oversee the process. Speaking beside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago, Trump said Israel had fulfilled its commitments and declined to link Israeli troop withdrawals to complete Hamas disarmament. He also warned Iran against rebuilding ballistic missile or nuclear programs, noting prior U.S. strikes and saying the United States could support further military action. Based on 6 articles reviewed and supporting research.
