“A lot of people said they’ll never disarm. It looks like they’re going to disarm,” Trump told a cabinet meeting.
Trump hailed cooperation with Hamas.
“They did help us with those bodies, getting them back, and that family is so grateful,” Trump said.
Trump had asked for an update on the Middle East from his roving special envoy Steve Witkoff, sitting in the side of the room as cabinet members and media listened.
An upbeat Witkoff voiced high confidence at Hamas following through.
“We’ve got the terrorists out of there and they’re going to demilitarise. They will because they have no choice,” Witkoff said.
“They’re going to give it up. They’re going to give up the AK-47s,” he told Trump. –Agencies
