唐纳德·特朗普总统在一次中东旋风12小时周一，他庆祝了该地区的“新黎明”，这是他帮助促成的以色列和哈马斯之间停火协议的第一阶段。
但当他回到华盛顿时，特朗普面临着接下来会发生什么的棘手问题。
确保持久和平的一个关键问题是解除哈马斯的武装正如特朗普的20点和平计划所呼吁的那样，但在协议的初始阶段没有明确处理。
美国广播公司新闻驻白宫记者卡伦·特拉弗斯(Karen Travers)周二在白宫问特朗普，哈马斯需要多长时间才能做到这一点，他是否能保证这一点会发生。
“嗯，他们要走了解除武装，因为他们说他们要解除武装。如果他们不解除武装，我们将解除他们的武装，”特朗普说。
“你会怎么做?”美国广播公司的特拉弗斯问道。
“我没有必要向你解释，但如果他们不解除武装，我们将解除他们的武装。他们知道我不是在玩游戏，好吗。...如果他们不解除武装，我们将解除他们的武装，而且会很快发生，可能会很暴力。但他们会解除武装。你明白我的意思吗?”特朗普说。
当被问及哈马斯解除武装的最后期限是什么时，特朗普说“很快”。
“一段合理的时间，”特朗普说。
总统在回家的路上在空军一号上对记者说，他现在的重点是重建加沙，这个地方已经被两年的战争摧毁了。联合国现在表示，该飞地的重建可能需要700多亿美元。
但特朗普没有详细说明具体的愿景，而是说巴勒斯坦建国和加沙地带治理等更棘手的问题将在以后解决。
“嗯，我们得看看，”特朗普在飞机上说。“我的意思是，很多人喜欢一国解决方案。有些人喜欢两国解决方案。我们将不得不看到。”
关于如何弥合这一差距，总统表示，在某个时候，他将与其他国家协调，决定“我认为正确的事情”。
当被要求进一步评论他的和平计划的第二阶段和谈判的现状时，特朗普只是说，周一聚集在埃及就加沙的未来举行会谈的世界领导人中有“很大的力量”。
特朗普说:“你知道，那些是非常富裕的国家，他们能够应对这种情况。”
特朗普在沙姆沙伊赫被20多个国家的领导人和代表包围，他和三名参与以色列-哈马斯谈判的调解人签署了支持他的和平计划的文件。
特朗普吹捧这份备忘录是“历史性的”，但它似乎在很大程度上是象征性的，因为除了美国、埃及、土耳其和卡塔尔“追求和平、安全和共同繁荣的全面愿景”的广泛承诺之外，它没有包含接下来会发生什么的具体细节。该地区的共同繁荣是以相互尊重和共同命运的原则为基础的。
以色列和哈马斯没有出现在埃及，也没有在文件上签字。
周一在以色列和加沙上演了激动人心的一幕，剩下的20名以色列人质与家人团聚和巴勒斯坦囚犯被释放了并返回加沙——经过数月的紧张谈判，这是特朗普的一项重大外交成就。
尽管有迹象表明停火协议的脆弱性，但以色列周一指责哈马斯没有立即归还四名死亡人质的所有遗体，这是“公然违反”停火协议。联合国随后表示，作为回应，以色列当局宣布将允许向加沙运送援助物资的卡车数量减少一半。
当周二在白宫被问及哈马斯的协议是否会遵守协议时，特朗普总统回应说:“我们会找到答案的。”
特朗普后来表示，哈马斯“虚报”了死亡人质的人数，称这是一个“非常棘手的问题”。
“我要他们回来。他们是这么说的。我要他们回来，”他说死者的尸体人质。
Trump vows to disarm Hamas but won't say how, avoids details on what's next for Gaza
President Donald Trump, during awhirlwind 12 hours in the Middle Easton Monday, celebrated a "new dawn" for the region as the first phase of a ceasefire deal he helped broker between Israel and Hamas got underway.
But as he returned to Washington, Trump faced tough questions on what comes next.
One key issue on ensuring a long-lasting peace is thedisarmament of Hamas, as called for in Trump's 20-point peace plan but not explicitly handled in the initial phase of the agreement.
ABC News White House Correspondent Karen Travers asked Trump at the White House on Tuesday how long it would take Hamas to do so and if he could guarantee it would happen.
"Well, they’re goingto disarm, and because they said they were going to disarm. And if they don't disarm, we will disarm them," Trump said.
"How will you do that?" ABC's Travers asked.
"I don't have to explain that to you, but if they don't disarm, we will disarm them. They know I'm not playing games, okay. ... And if they don't disarm, we will disarm them, and it'll happen quickly and perhaps violently. But they will disarm. Do you understand me?" Trump said.
Pressed on what the deadline is for Hamas to disarm, Trump said "pretty quickly."
"A reasonable period of time," Trump said.
The president, talking to reporters on Air Force One on his way home overnight, said his focus now was on rebuilding Gaza, which has been demolished by two years of war. The United Nations now says the reconstruction of the enclave could cost upwards of $70 billion.
But Trump didn't elaborate on a specific vision, instead saying thornier issues of Palestinian statehood and governing of the Gaza Strip would be worked out later.
"Well, we're gonna have to see," Trump said on the flight. "I mean, a lot of people like the one-state solution. Some people like the two-state solutions. We'll have to see."
On how to bridge that gap, the president said at some point he would decide "what I think is right" in coordination with other countries.
Asked to comment further on the second phase of his peace plan and the status of negotiations, Trump only said there was "a lot of power" in the group of world leaders that gathered in Egypt on Monday for talks on Gaza's future.
"Those are, you know, really seriously rich countries, and they can handle it," Trump said.
Trump was surrounded by leaders and representatives of more than 20 countries in Sharm El-Sheikh, where he and three mediators involved in the Israel-Hamas negotiations signed a document backing his peace plan.
Trump touted the memorandum as "historic" but it appeared largely symbolic, as it contained no specifics on what comes next other than broad commitments from the U.S., Egypt, Turkey and Qatar to "pursue a comprehensive vision of peace, security, and shared prosperity in the region, grounded in the principles of mutual respect and shared destiny."
Not present in Egypt and not signing the document was Israel and Hamas.
Emotional scenes played out in Israel and Gaza on Monday as the remaining living 20 Israeli hostages werereunited with their familiesand Palestinian prisonerswere freedand returned to Gaza -- a major diplomatic accomplishment for Trump after months of tense negotiations.
Though in a sign of the fragility of the ceasefire agreement, Israel on Monday accused Hamas of a "blatant violation" when it didn't immediately return all the remains of four deceased hostages. The U.N. then said Israeli authorities announced it would cut in half the number of trucks allowed to carry aid into Gaza as a response.
Asked Tuesday at the White House if Hamas deal will hold up its end of the deal, President Trump responded: "We’ll find out."
Trump later said Hamas "misrepresented" the number of dead hostages, calling it a "very tough subject."
"I want them back.That's what they said. I want them back," he said of the bodies of the deceased hostages.
