Numerous United States 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.

Separately, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has strongly objected to any Turkish or Qatari presence in Gaza under the proposed postwar peace plan, calling it a “red line” that Israel will not cross, according to reports by Israel Hayom.
The move has raised concerns in Washington, where officials are working to ensure Israel does not derail the US-backed deal with Hamas aimed at stabilizing Gaza once the ongoing conflict ends.
