Virtual world users circulated a video showing U.S. President Donald Trump aboard Air Force One just before his trip to Israel. During the discussion, a reporter asked him a question about the establishment of the Hamas resistance movement as a police force in Gaza, saying: "Is Hamas establishing itself as a police force and shooting at its competitors?" President Trump replied: "We gave them the approval; they are doing this because they want to stop the problems, and we granted them the approval. We asked them to monitor to ensure that no major crimes or problems occur under such circumstances. We want the situation to be safe."
Trump added that "the death toll in Gaza has reached 60,000, and there are areas that have been completely destroyed," noting that the war between Hamas and Israel has indeed ended. Trump's remarks about granting Hamas approval and a specific timeframe to establish security in Gaza drew the attention of social media audiences.
Some Twitter users considered these statements to be an attempt by Trump to calm the debate surrounding the disarmament of Hamas, as he realizes that the matter is extremely complex and does not wish to delve deeply into it at this stage, since he cannot be certain about the outcomes of the next phase. Bloggers viewed Trump's response as expected, as he seeks to present himself as someone who gives orders and directives, portraying Hamas as if it is seeking the green light from him.
Trump: We gave them the approval; they are doing this because they want to stop the problems.
