U.S. President Donald Trump issued a blistering warning to Hamas during his remarks at Davos, declaring that the group was “born with rifles in their hands” and must surrender their weapons or face total destruction.

Speaking about the ongoing Middle East conflict, Trump said dozens of countries are now involved in peace efforts and warned that if Hamas fails to disarm, international forces are prepared to step in. He framed the moment as the final phase of what he called a series of massive wars that are now being reduced to “little fires.”

The remarks come as Trump pushes his new global “Board of Peace” initiative and claims progress toward ending the Gaza war.

00:00Little fires that we'll put out, but they're little.
00:02They were giant, giant, massive fires, and now they're down to little fires, so we can
00:09put them out very easily.
00:10We have 59 countries that are involved in peace in the Middle East, many of them not
00:15in the Middle East.
00:16They're near the Middle East, but they're not in the Middle East.
00:19And many have said that if Hamas doesn't do what they promised they would do – and
00:24I think they probably will – but they were born with rifles in their hands, literally
00:29born.
00:30The first day they had a rifle put into their hands, but they have to give up their weapons,
00:36and if they don't do that, it's going to be the end of them.
00:40But many countries have told me, we want to go in and do it, and they really aren't countries
00:46that you traditionally think of as being involved in that.
00:50But that's the fire.
00:53Hezbollah in Lebanon, we have to do something about that.
00:56But these are – I call them remnants – they're small remnants compared to what it was before.
01:02It was massive, large, powerful countries fighting each other.
01:07In another great victory for the ultimate goal of peace in June, we obliterated Iran's
01:13nuclear enrichment capacity with Operation – we call it Operation Midnight Hammer.
01:19It was midnight, it was dark, no moon, and every single one of those bombs from the B-2 bombers
01:25hit the air shafts and went deep into the earth and totally obliterated everything that
01:31they were doing.
01:32They were two months away from having a nuclear weapon.
01:34Can't let that happen.
01:36And Iran does want to talk, and we'll talk.
01:42We've also hit ISIS in Syria, and very strongly, as you know.
01:47In my first administration, I took out al-Baghdadi, the founder of ISIS, and he was trying to start
01:54it up again, because due to the tremendous talent of General Raisin Cane, as I call him,
02:02he wiped out ISIS in a period of three weeks in my first term.
02:05We had a great first term, but the second term is, I think, blowing it away, actually.
02:11But we took out ISIS, and we had – it was gone, but during the Biden administration it
02:18formed again a little bit.
02:20We hit it very hard in Syria, and Syria, by the way, spoke with the President, is making
02:25a lot of progress – tremendous progress, actually.
02:27We're very happy about that.
02:29We took off all sanctions, which gives them a chance to breathe.
02:33And he's – he is working very, very hard, and I think he's going to put it all together.
02:40So many things are happening, many good things.
02:45Puts to Europe and America or the Middle East and other places are really calming down.
02:52It's a lot different than it was just one year ago – just one year ago, the world was
02:58actually on fire.
02:59A lot of people didn't know it.
03:01And in Nigeria, we're annihilating terrorists who are killing Christians.
03:05We've hit them very hard.
03:07They've killed thousands and thousands of Christians.
03:11What's that all about?
03:13Much of this unprecedented success is possible because I rebuilt our military in my first
03:18term, and now we're making it even stronger.
03:21We have a budget of over a trillion dollars this year, and next year we're going to 1.5 trillion.
03:29Our country's never done better economically.
03:31We're taking in numbers that we've never taken in, not only the fact that the investment is
03:37at 18 trillion plus, but our jobs numbers.
03:42Everything is, I think, maybe better than ever before.
03:46I think you're going to see some – and a lot of you are investing in our country.
03:49I think you're going to see some – and a lot of you are investing in our country.
04:01I think you're going to see some – and a lot of you are investing in our country.
