American President Donald Trump stated that his allies in the Middle East are willing to send troops to Gaza to "call Hamas to order," in the event that the Islamist group continues to violate the ceasefire agreement. Trump emphasized that these allies have clearly communicated that they would accept such intervention at his request. He also warned that if Hamas does not respect the agreement, the consequences will be severe.
In the context of rising tensions, Israel has accused Hamas of violations of the truce, which has led to retaliatory attacks in Gaza, resulting in dozens of deaths. The ceasefire agreement, in effect since October 10, allowed for the release of some Israeli hostages, and Hamas partially returned their bodies.
