According to Reuters, on October 14 local time, US President Trump said that he had conveyed a message to Hamas that the armed group must disarm, or it would be forcibly disarmed, and Hamas has also agreed to disarm.
On October 13 local time, Hamas released the last batch of living Israeli captives from Gaza. Israel also sent buses of Palestinian detainees back home according to the ceasefire agreement mediated by Trump, but Hamas has not publicly committed to disarming.
"If they don't disarm themselves, we will force them to disarm. And this will happen quickly, possibly even in a violent way," Trump said during a meeting with Argentine President Milei at the White House on October 14.

Trump said that he had conveyed this requirement to Hamas, and the latter had agreed to disarm, which is consistent with his "20-point plan."
"I talked to Hamas, and I said 'you have to disarm, right?' They answered 'yes, sir, we will disarm.' That's what they told me directly," said Trump. He then clarified that he had conveyed the message through intermediaries.
The report pointed out that the prospects for Trump's peace plan have become bleak since he returned from his visit to Israel and Egypt on the 13th.
On October 14 local time, Israel restricted aid supplies entering Gaza and closed the border of the Gaza Strip. At the same time, Hamas fighters, who had reappeared, demonstrated their control over the area by executing people on the street. Regarding Hamas' killing of other armed groups during its re-taking of security, Trump expressed support.
