President Donald Trump issued a stark warning that an end to Hamas would be “fast, furious, & brutal” if the group fails to comply with its obligations under the recently negotiated agreement. In a post shared on his social platform, the president said a number of America’s Middle East partners — described as “NOW GREAT ALLIES” — have told him they would welcome the opportunity, if requested, to deploy heavy forces into Gaza to “straighten out Hamas.”
Trump emphasized that he told those countries and Israel “NOT YET,” adding that “there is still hope that Hamas will do what is right.” He framed the regional backing he has received as an unprecedented show of support: “The love and spirit for the Middle East has not been seen like this in a thousand years! It is a beautiful thing to behold!”
The president’s message mixes a diplomatic appeal for compliance with a public threat of overwhelming force should Hamas violate the terms of the ceasefire and related agreements. By highlighting the willingness of regional partners to act at his request, Trump signaled that the United States could marshal allied support for a military option if diplomatic and enforcement mechanisms fail. At the same time, his instruction that intervention is “NOT YET” underlines an emphasis on giving the agreement an opportunity to hold before resorting to further military escalation.
Trump’s rhetoric is calibrated to pressure Hamas while reassuring Israeli and regional audiences of continued U.S. backing. The explicit reference to allied readiness to intervene — coupled with the language of speed and severity — raises the stakes for compliance and sets a clear public expectation about potential consequences. How regional governments respond publicly and whether any operational planning or formal requests for assistance follow will be watched closely in the coming days.
