A week after announcing a breakthrough Gaza ceasefire, U.S. President Donald Trump is threatening new military action against Hamas, accusing the group of violating the terms of his peace agreement.

The deal, hailed by Trump as the start of a “new West Asia,” had briefly calmed fighting and allowed prisoner exchanges. But reports from Gaza indicate Hamas has launched deadly reprisals against alleged gangs and informants, leading to public executions and widespread fear.

Trump initially defended Hamas’ actions as efforts to restore order, saying it “didn’t bother” him. Within a day, however, he reversed course, warning that further killings would trigger U.S. intervention.

Critics say Trump’s shifting tone reflects pressure from Israel and Washington hawks alarmed by Hamas’ reassertion of control. The situation underscores the fragile nature of the ceasefire — one built more on Trump’s personal diplomacy than on enforceable guarantees.
