"President Donald Trump revealed the fragile state of a peace deal between Israel and Hamas in a CNN interview, warning that Israeli Defense Forces could be back on the streets of Gaza as soon as he gives the word. CNN's Jake Tapper revealed on The Lead on Wednesday evening that he had a 10-minute phone conversation with Trump this week in which the president talked about the current ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, as well as his thoughts on how the media treats him."
"Trump warned that IDF soldiers could return to the streets of Gaza despite the peace agreement if Hamas does not hold up their end of the deal. The president's warning comes as Israeli officials accuse Hamas of failing to release the remains of all deceased hostages, which is part of the agreement. So far, all living hostages have been released."
"What's going on with Hamas that'll be straightened out quickly, Trump said after warning IDF could return to Gaza as soon as I say the word. The president also chalked up some current violence in Gaza to Hamas going in and clearing out the gangs, violent gangs. He said he's doing research when asked if the terror group is killing innocent Palestinians. We'll find out about it. It could be gangs plus, he said. The president also revealed he had it out with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the peace agreement. Trump said he is also working on ending the Russia-Ukraine war ahead of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's White House visit on Friday."
The Israel-Hamas ceasefire remains fragile, with Israeli Defense Forces positioned to re-enter Gaza immediately if Hamas fails to comply with agreement terms. Israeli officials report that Hamas has not released the remains of some deceased hostages, although all living hostages have been freed. Some recent violence in Gaza is attributed to Hamas clearing violent gangs, while investigations continue into reports of civilian killings. A diplomatic dispute occurred with Israeli leadership over the agreement. Concurrent diplomatic efforts aim to pursue an end to the Russia-Ukraine war ahead of an upcoming visit by the Ukrainian president.
