US allies in the Middle East are ready to send their troops into the Gaza Strip to restore order. However, Hamas still has a chance to make things right, stated US President Donald Trump in his post on Truth Social.

"Numerous of our now great allies in the Middle East, and areas surrounding the Middle East, have explicitly and strongly, with great enthusiasm, informed me that they would welcome the opportunity, at my request, to go into Gaza with a heavy force and 'straighten our Hamas' if Hamas continues to act badly, in violation of their agreement with us," he wrote.

According to him, he told those countries and Israel that it was "not yet" time to resume hostilities.

"There is still hope that Hamas will do what is right. If they do not, an end to Hamas will be fast, furious, and brutal!" Trump emphasized.

The American leader thanked the nations that called and offered their assistance.

Hamas may have violated the ceasefire

On October 13, US President Donald Trump signed a peace agreement on the Gaza Strip with the leaders of three Middle Eastern countries.

Notably, Hamas militants had already released all hostages who had been held captive since 2023, and a ceasefire was established between Israel and Hamas.

On October 19, Israel reported that Hamas fighters opened fire with grenade launchers and sniper rifles at Israeli troops in the southern Gaza Strip.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the IDF to take decisive action, while Hamas denied breaking the truce.
