President Donald Trump warned that if Hamas resumed killing in Gaza in violation of the new ceasefire, the United States would “have no choice” but to take action.

This is not the first time the administration has had to narrow earlier, more maximalist talk on Gaza. Back in February, after floating versions of a U.S. “take over” concept, aides and allies emphasized that Washington was “not committed” to sending U.S. troops and that any future control or security presence would not require American boots on the ground.
