Is there a comment on what happened between the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the Jews regarding their breaking of the treaty and his expulsion of them from the city?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He says: Your Eminence, in the month of Jumada al-Ula in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) expelled one of the Jewish tribes from the city, until all the Jewish tribes followed one another in breaking the treaty with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Is there a comment on these events? And are they the ones about whom Allah said:
Is it not [true] that every time they took a covenant a party of them threw it away? أَوَ كُلَّمَا عَاهَدُوا عَهْدًا نَبَذَهُ فَرِيقٌ مِنْهُمْ
[Al-Baqarah 2:100]
Do the Jews have a treaty throughout history?

The Shaykh : Yes, the Jews have treaties with their Prophet Musa (peace be upon him) and those after him, and with the last of the messengers and the best of them, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family). They made a treaty with him, but they broke the treaty. They were three tribes when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) arrived in the city: Banu Qaynuqa, Banu Nadir, and Banu Quraizah. The last of them, Banu Quraizah, broke the treaty when they joined the Confederates who came to fight the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family).
