Trump says Hamas will be 'eradicated' if group breaches deal

US President Donald Trump warned Hamas this week it would be “eradicated” if it breaches the Gaza deal with Israel, but said he would give the Palestinian militant group a chance to honour the truce.

Vice President JD Vance headed to Israel shortly after Trump's comments, joining two top US envoys after weekend violence threatened to wreck the fragile ceasefire.

“We made a deal with Hamas that they're going to be very good, they're going to behave, they're going to be nice,” Trump told reporters at the White House as he hosted Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

“And if they're not, we're going to go and we're going to eradicate them, if we have to. They'll be eradicated, and they know that.”

Trump helped broker the Gaza deal nearly two weeks ago but it has repeatedly come under threat as Israel accuses Hamas of stalling on handing over dead hostages, and of launching attacks.
