DAVOS, Switzerland, ⁠Jan ⁠21 (Reuters) - ‍U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday said ‍it should be known within ​three weeks whether Hamas will ​agree to give up its weapons, and threatened action if the group ​does not.

"That's what they agreed to. They've ​got to do it. And we're going ‌to know ... over the next two or three days - ​certainly over ⁠the next three weeks - whether or not they're ‌going to do it," Trump said in a ‌question and answer session following his ‌speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

"If they don't do ‍it, they'll be blown away very quickly. They'll ⁠be blown away."
