The U.S.-brokered Gaza ceasefire wobbled on Tuesday after Israel shot several people, Hamas dragged its feet on its side of the bargain and U.S. President Donald Trump raised the prospect of further violence.
Speaking at the White House, Trump said of the Palestinian militant group: “If they don’t disarm, we will disarm them. And it will happen quickly, and perhaps violently.”
Hamas forces have returned to the streets in areas of Gaza vacated by the Israeli military, clashed with other armed groups and killed alleged gangsters, AP reported.
Separately, Israeli troops shot several people on Tuesday who they accused of violating the ceasefire agreement by crossing the ‘yellow line’ behind which Israeli troops are stationed. Local authorities said six were killed.
There is also tension over the return of the bodies of people that Hamas took hostage on Oct. 7, 2023 who subsequently died, with Israel accusing the militant group of being too slow to return the remainder. Four bodies out of the estimated 28 were handed over on Monday.
