Hamas may have an attack on Palestinian civilians, we say

Terrorist Group Location As if planning an attack on “Palestinian citizens” in the Gaza Strip, the US State Department announced on Saturday.

In a statement, the State Department said it “informed the nations of the guarantors of the Gaza peace agreement of reliable reports indicating the violation of close fire by Hamas against the people of Gaza.”

It did not give any details on the possible attack, the target or the place, or where it is possible, just to mention the direct violation and the violation of the important progress obtained through mediation efforts. “

“Should Hamas continue these attacks, steps will be taken to protect the people of Gaza and maintain the integrity of the ceasefire,” the State Department said. It did not disclose what those measures did.

This is coming After CBS News obtained the video Wednesday showing the armed Hamas Fighters standing over the Palestinians accused of being members of the gangs collaborating with Israel. Sometime after the video, they took them out.

Israeli Defense Minister Gershon Baskin told CBS News that the video shows a long pattern of punishment that Hamas uses against other suspects and collaborators with Israel.

“Hamas killed them because they knew how,” Baskin told CBS News this week. “Hamas is a criminal organization that has driven the Palestinians out of Gaza for almost 20 years. This is not a democratic, free state.”

Baskin also explained that the Palestinian armed groups opposed to Hamas were armed by Israel During the war in an effort to reduce the power of Hamas.

“Israel has empowered, with weapons and money, gangs that have been involved in illegal activities in the past – drug dealing, illegal smuggling – and they have empowered it as an alternative to Hamas,” Baskin said. “This is not sustainable.”

President Trump on Tuesday appeared to agree that Hamas was promoted through violence against Palestinian militant groups.

“They took a couple of gangs that were very, very bad gangs,” Mr Trump said of Hamas while speaking to reporters. “And that didn’t bother me too much, to be honest with you.”

The role of Hamas in Gaza’s future remains murky. Israel asked that Hamas be humiliated, and the agreement to end the money wants to give up its control of the Palestinian arena to “technical, Palestinian, responsible for delivering the performance of daily activities and municipalities to the people of Gaza.”

On Monday, Mr. Trump and world leaders have signed A deal that looked like the US It was designed to end Israel’s two-year ceasefire – the Hamas War.

As part of the agreement, Hamas released 20 live hostages, and Israel released 2,000 prisoners and detainees. Israel also returned its forces to the line it had won in Gaza.

The deal also calls for Hamas to release the remains of 28 dead hostages, but has so far released 10 of those remains. Two more bodies they were released by Hamas Saturday, but they are still waiting to be identified.

According to media reports, Israel returned 135 Palestinian bodies to Gaza as part of the agreement.
