Hamas released all 20 living Israeli hostages Monday, and Israel released more than 1,900 Palestinian prisoners as part of a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. U.S. President Donald Trump visited the region to discuss postwar plans.
Trump assured reporters that Hamas would disarm under his peace agreement or he would disarm them 'perhaps violently.'
President Trump said his focus now is on rebuilding Gaza, but has shared few specifics on his vision for security and governance of the enclave.
So far the Gaza ceasefire is holding, but calls are getting louder for Hamas to hand over more hostages' remains, and for Israel to allow in more aid.
While President Donald Trump has declared the Israel-Hamas war over, some Middle East experts say the process to end the two-year conflict is just beginning.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told "CBS Mornings" co-host Tony Dokoupil that conditions outlined in the 20-point plan "are very clear."
After Hamas fighters tightened their grip in Gaza Tuesday, carrying out public executions and defying any suggestions the militant group is willing to cede control of the embattled territory, U.S. President Donald Trump said the Palestinian militant group must disarm or will be forced to.
