His remarks came amid growing reports of executions inside Gaza, where Hamas has allegedly killed scores of men, women, and children in recent days under accusations of collaboration or dissent.By Vered Weiss, World Israel NewsUS President Donald Trump warned that if Hamas continues executing civilians in Gaza, “we will have no choice but to go in and kill them,” signaling a sharp shift in tone after initially suggesting the group had been targeting criminal gangs.The statement, posted on Truth Social, capped a 48-hour reversal in Trump’s position over the summary killings of Palestinians accused by Hamas of collaborating with Israel.Trump said earlier in the week that he had granted Hamas “approval for a period of time” to carry out executions of what he called “very bad gangs.”By Wednesday, after reports that civilians were among the victims, he appeared to back away from that stance.The commander of US forces in the Middle East called on Hamas to immediately stop attacks on “innocent Palestinian civilians,” while Trump told CNN he was “doing more research on it… It could be gangs plus.”Although the president spoke in “we” terms when threatening retribution, he has clarified in the past that Israel—not the United States—would carry out any such military response if the ceasefire collapses.His remarks came amid growing reports of executions inside Gaza, where Hamas has allegedly killed scores of men, women, and children in recent days under accusations of collaboration or dissent.In southern Gaza, Hossam al-Astal, a militia leader operating with Israeli support in Khan Younis, released a video urging international intervention to stop what he described as Hamas’s campaign of terror against Gaza’s population.“Hamas is killing hundreds of children, women, youths and elderly people. Under what charge?” he said. “We came out of a military war into a war of terrorists.”Al-Astal, who thanked President Trump for his ceasefire efforts, appealed for the same resolve to be shown in protecting civilians from Hamas.“After saving Gazans from Israeli bombardment, the president should now save them from Hamas,” he said. Calling Hamas “100% ISIS,” he demanded that the international community act to defend Gaza’s residents.Speaking later to The Times of Israel, al-Astal said his group would continue fighting Hamas but had no political ambitions.“We are not seeking to rule Gaza or gain influence,” he said. “We want to move the people from Hamas’s rule to civilian rule that will serve the residents. We want peace and we want to live.”The post Trump warns if Hamas keeps executing civilians, ‘we will have no choice but to go in and kill them’ appeared first on World Israel News.
