Trump Ramps Up Pressure on Hamas to Disarm
(The Hill) Filip Timotija - At their press conference following a Trump-Netanyahu meeting in Florida on Monday, Trump said Hamas would be given a "very short period of time" to disarm, warning the group would be "wiped out" if it refused to abide by its commitments in the second phase of the U.S.-brokered peace plan. Trump also claimed that he and Netanyahu had reached an "understanding regarding Syria." Trump said Syria's new leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, "is a very strong guy, and that's what you need in Syria. So I hope Israel, I'm sure that Israel and him will get along. I will try and make it so that they do get along. I think they will." Netanyahu said, "Our interest is to have a peaceful border with Syria," adding that Israel wanted its Druze allies and other religious minority groups in Syria to be safe.
