Trump: Hamas Will “Have Hell to Pay” If It Refuses to Disarm

HeadlineDec 30, 2025

Trump warned Hamas will “have hell to pay” if it refuses to disarm during the upcoming second stage of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement.

President Donald Trump: “Well, we talked about Hamas, and we talked about disarmament. And they’re going to be given a very short period of time to disarm, and we’ll see how that works out. Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will be in charge of that from our side. But if they don’t disarm, as they agreed to do — they agreed to it — then there will be hell to pay for them.”

Trump made no reference to the hundreds of times Israel has violated the ceasefire since it took effect on October 10.
