Trump: ‘We are going to eradicate Hamas’ if ceasefire doesn’t hold

  • On Oct. 20, President Donald Trump threatened to `eradicate` Hamas if it violates the U.S.-brokered ceasefire, saying, `We made a deal with Hamas that they're going to behave, they're going to be nice.'
  • After a weekend attack, Israel launched airstrikes on Gaza on Oct. 19 after a Hamas assault that Israeli officials said killed two Israeli soldiers; Gaza authorities reported 45 killed and 158 injured in 24 hours.
  • US special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner flew to Tel Aviv Monday to advance the second phase of a 20-point ceasefire, and Vice President JD Vance was expected Tuesday to continue talks.
  • The president clarified any military force against Hamas would exclude U.S. ground forces and said the attackers who struck Israeli troops likely acted without Hamas leadership.
  • The plan's second phase focuses on Gaza's long-term governance and Hamas disarmament after initial hostage releases, while Egypt hosted talks with Khalil Al-Hayya amid Hamas' claim of 47 violations.
