Trump warns Hamas of violent retaliation if it doesn't disarm, free hostages

Washington, Oct 15 (UNI) Echoing the anger in Israel, US President Donald Trump has warned Hamas of violent retaliation if it fails to disarm and release the remains of all the 24 hostages, still being held in the Strip.
"I spoke to Hamas, and I said, 'You're going to disarm, right?' 'Yes, sir. We're going to disarm.' — That's what they told me. They will disarm or we will disarm them," Trump told media at the White House.
He later clarified that this message was passed on through his "people," apparently referencing his top two aides -- US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law Jared Kusher -- rather than in a direct conversation with the terror group, according to Israeli reports.
