Reflecting on the newly announced ceasefire deal between Israel and the Hamas terrorist group, US Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL), who is set to become White House national security adviser under incoming President Donald Trump, has vowed that the Trump administration will support Israel renewing military operations in Gaza if Hamas launches more attacks against the Jewish state and violates the agreement.

While speaking to Fox News host Bret Baier on Wednesday evening, Waltz was pressed on whether he believes Hamas will eventually reassemble its military forces in Gaza after the war ends. Waltz batted down any concerns that the ceasefire agreement would lead to a resurgence of Hamas-induced violence in Gaza.

“We’ve made it very clear to the Israelis, and I want the people of Israel to hear me on this: If they need to go back in, we’re with them. If Hamas doesn’t live up to the terms of this agreement, we are with them,” Waltz said. “Hamas is not going to continue as a military entity, and it is certainly not going to govern Gaza.”

Waltz suggested that terrorist groups in the Middle East are fearful of the incoming White House, pointing to the Trump administration’s successful assassination of former top Iranian military commander Qasem Solemani during his first term in 2020.
