Hamas will disarm or die
President Trump warned Tuesday that Hamas will either follow through on its pledge to disarm under his 20-point Gaza peace plan or meet a violent end. “They’re going to disarm because they said they were going to disarm—and if they don’t, we will disarm them,” Trump told reporters while hosting Argentine President Javier Milei at the White House. “They know I’m not playing games.”
The president said Hamas had “misrepresented” how many bodies of deceased hostages it held after turning over just four on Monday. “If they don’t disarm, we will disarm them—and it’ll happen quickly and perhaps violently,” he said before a Cabinet Room luncheon. Trump explained that he had conveyed the warning to Hamas through emissaries, adding, “They told me, ‘Yes, sir, we’re going to disarm.’ They will disarm or we will disarm them. Got it?”

Trump’s hard line came just hours after his return from Israel and Egypt, where he joined regional leaders to mark the cease-fire his administration brokered between Israel and Hamas following two years of war. The initial phase of the deal included Hamas releasing twenty Israeli hostages in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners and the first of three planned Israeli troop withdrawals. The agreement was hailed by world leaders gathered in Sharm el-Sheikh, though several provisions remain unsettled—among them, the timeline and enforcement of Hamas’ disarmament, the structure of a transitional Gaza government, and the makeup of an international peacekeeping force.
Despite the cease-fire, reports from Gaza Tuesday described Hamas militants using the lull to target rival militia leaders accused of collaborating with Israel, executing eight men by firing squad. Under Trump’s plan, the United States would chair a “Board of Peace” overseeing Gaza’s interim administration while transforming the territory into a special economic zone backed by Arab investment and large-scale reconstruction.
The president’s remarks underscored his readiness to enforce the deal militarily if necessary—a hallmark of Trump’s foreign policy. Having leveraged threats of force to secure earlier hostage releases, he made clear that Hamas’ disarmament is not a negotiable point but a precondition for lasting peace.

Baton-wielding protesters stormed the COP30 summit in Belem, Brazil, on Tuesday, with video showing some dressed in indigenous outfits, according to multiple reports.
The COP30 summit is the 30th annual meeting of parties to the United Nations’ Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC), an agreement to reach “net-zero” carbon emissions by 2050, according to the conference’s website. Video posted on X and aired by the BBC showed the protesters kicking doors and forcing their way into the building.

Two security guards were injured in the fracas, with one being taken out in a wheelchair while holding his stomach, Sky News reported.
Past COP summits have seen speakers propose taxes on the meat and dairy industry and “climate finance” initiatives for less-developed countries. The Biden administration signed on to a pledge to start “transitioning away from fossil fuels” at the United Nations COP28 climate summit on Dec. 13, 2023.
Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom of California attended the summit, where he labeled President Donald Trump “an invasive species” and “a wrecking-ball president” who was “doubling down on stupid.” Newsom also announced an agreement between California and Nigeria, which was declared a “country of particular concern” due to persecution of Christians.

Nearly 3,000 people died across New York City, Washington, D.C., and Shanksville, Pa. during the 9/11 attacks, according to the Pew Research Center. When asked directly on “Special Report with Bret Baier” if he regrets the attack, al-Sharaa distanced himself entirely from the event.
“I was only 19 years old, so I was a very young person, and I didn’t have any decision-making power at that time, and I don’t have anything to do with it,” al-Sharaa said. “And al-Qaeda was not present right then in my area. So you’re speaking to the wrong person about this subject.”

The Syrian leader then shifted the conversation.

“We mourn for every civilian that got killed, and we know that people suffer from the war, especially civilians who pay the price, a hefty price for the war,” al-Sharaa said.
President Donald Trump hosted al-Sharaa at the White House on Monday, welcoming the former al-Qaeda member who once fought U.S. forces in Iraq and served time in Abu Ghraib prison. The U.S. government removed al-Sharaa from its terror list just days before his meeting with Trump, according to CBS News.
Al-Sharaa, who led a rebel coalition that toppled Bashar al-Assad’s regime in December 2024 while heading the militant group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, has since recast himself as a pro-Western reformer. Legacy media outlets have described his government as “moderate” compared to Assad’s rule.
The visit marks the first time a Syrian head of state has entered the White House since Syria gained independence in 1946, NPR reported. Trump, during a speech in Saudi Arabia, said in May that he would lift U.S. sanctions on Syria.
