Numerous U.S. allies have said they would welcome the opportunity to go into Gaza and straighten out Hamas with "heavy force," but there is no need for that yet, President Donald Trump said on Tuesday.
"I told these countries, and Israel, “NOT YET!” There is still hope that Hamas will do what is right.
If they do not, an end to Hamas will be FAST, FURIOUS, & BRUTAL! I would like to thank all of those countries that called to help," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

U.S. Vice President JD Vance arrived in Israel on Tuesday, as Washington tries to stabilise the first, shaky, phase of the Gaza ceasefire and push Israel and Hamas towards the harder concessions asked of each side in coming talks.
Turkey’s ties to Hamas, once a liability in Washington, have turned into a geopolitical asset. By persuading Hamas to accept Donald Trump’s Gaza deal, Ankara has reasserted itself on the Middle East chessboard, to the dismay of Israel and Arab rivals.
The Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, strongly criticized Israel on Tuesday, accusing it of repeated violations of the current ceasefire in Gaza, following a series of Israeli airstrikes that reportedly targeted Hamas infrastructure in the enclave.
