Hamas will face ‘complete obliteration’ if it refuses to cede power in Gaza: Trump

US President Donald Trump said Hamas will face “complete obliteration” if the Palestinian group refuses to give up power and control of the Gaza Strip as he seeks to implement his plan to end the conflict, Reuters reports.

When asked if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is on board with ending the bombing in Gaza and supporting the United States’ broader vision, Trump told CNN, “Yes on Bibi.”

In the interview, Trump added that he expects to know soon whether Hamas is committed to peace.
