Hamas defends executions of Palestinians after Trump issues stern warning to terror group

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
FIRST ON FOX:As a senior Hamas official defended the group’s crackdown on Palestinians in Gaza on Friday in an interview with Reuters, a Gazan lawyer in hiding from the terrorists warned that the killings of the group’s critics are continuing.
In an exclusive interview from Gaza, Moumen Al-Natour, a lawyer, former Hamas political prisoner and president of Palestinian Youth for Development, said Hamas resurfaced from underground tunnels after the ceasefire. «After the fire stopped, Hamas fighters came out of the tunnels and massacred families that opposed them,» he said. «They are sending a signal that they are back — by terrorizing people.»
In defending the executions, the Hamas terrorist official, Mohammed Nazzal, told Reuters on Friday that there were always «exceptional measures» during the war and those executed were criminals guilty of killing.

On Thursday, President Donald Trump issued a warning on Truth Social after footage circulated online showing Hamas fighters executing Palestinians in Gaza City’s main square. «If Hamas continues to kill people in Gaza, which was not the deal, we will have no choice but to go in and kill them,» he wrote.
According to Reuters, at least 33 people were executed by Hamas in recent days in what officials described as a campaign to «show strength» after the ceasefire. Israeli sources say most of those killed belonged to families accused of collaborating with Israel or supporting rival militias.
Al-Natour said several local militias are still resisting the group across Gaza. In Rafah, the Abu Shabab clan has drawn attention for recruiting fighters and resisting Hamas’s control. In Gaza City, the Doghmush clan has clashed repeatedly with Hamas terrorists. In Khan Younis, the Mujaida clan has also been involved in armed confrontations.
Some members tied to the Hellis network in Gaza City are operating in neighborhoods under tension with Hamas. These factions do not hold stable territory, but their sporadic resistance — from raids to armed standoffs — signals the first cracks in Hamas’s grip.

«These militias come from the population,» Al-Natour said. «They need recognition and coordination to form a political umbrella — a transitional body that governs these areas and organizes their security.»
He said he and others are trying to operate under what he called Trump’s peace framework, forming safe zones inside Gaza where civilians unaffiliated with Hamas can access food, aid, and protection. «We can build a governing body in these zones,» he said. «But those of us who speak out are hunted. The people Hamas is killing now are just like me — Palestinians who dared to speak.»
Joseph Braude, president of the Center for Peace Communications, said Hamas is using the post-war lull to settle old scores. «It’s a dark time for Hamas’s many opponents in Gaza,» he told Fox News Digital. «They’re exploiting this moment to reassert dominance through brute force. They killed a pregnant woman about 18 hours ago. It is indiscriminate killing designed simply to sow fear in ordinary people»
His organization released a video on X featuring an interview with a Gazan who described how Hamas killed a 5-year-old child as part of its campaign against opponents.
TRUMP UNVEILS 20-POINT PLAN TO SECURE PEACE IN GAZA, INCLUDING GRANTING SOME HAMAS MEMBERS ‘AMNESTY’
Braude described Gaza’s reality as bifurcated. Reconstruction, he explained, could begin in the areas behind the yellow line — territory now under Israeli supervision — while fighting continues elsewhere. «This is the scenario envisioned in the 20-point plan,» he said. «Gazans opposed to Hamas, including those who have taken up arms in that struggle, can help form enclaves of self-rule that evolve into a transitional authority with international support.»
He predicted that a coalition of anti-Hamas militias, supported by air cover from Israel and possibly private contractors, will carry out the remaining ground battles. «There is no conceptual return to the pre-Oct. 7 approach,» he added.

Michael Milshtein, head of the Palestinian Studies Forum at Tel Aviv University and a former IDF intelligence officer, said Hamas has seized the clans’ weapons and money, much of it originating from Israel, drawing parallels to Hezbollah’s takeover of southern Lebanon in 2000. «This leaves Israel in a dilemma,» he warned. «If the Israeli military ends up protecting these clans, we risk starting another war with Hamas. If we abandon them, we may have to absorb them later, like the allies we evacuated from Lebanon.»
He called the initiative «a tragic example of acting without understanding Gaza’s reality.»

Gazans who spoke anonymously to Fox News Digital described chaos and fear. One man said «gangs are in the streets» and warned that another internal war could erupt. Another said, «No one knows who will rule or what will happen next. We just want to live without bloodshed.»
Trump’s team has framed the Gaza ceasefire as the foundation for lasting peace. But with executions, clan wars, and new militias emerging, officials and residents alike say the post-war phase may test whether that peace can hold — or whether Gaza is entering yet another cycle of terror and revenge.

State Department warns Hamas may violate ceasefire with attack on Palestinian civilians

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The U.S. Department of State on Saturday warned there are «credible reports» that Hamas may break the peace agreement with a «planned attack» on Palestinian civilians.
«This planned attack against Palestinian civilians would constitute a direct and grave violation of the ceasefire agreement and undermine the significant progress achieved through mediation efforts,» the department said in a statement on social media. «The guarantors demand Hamas uphold its obligations under the ceasefire terms.
«The United States and the other guarantors remain resolute in our commitment to ensuring the safety of civilians, maintaining calm on the ground and advancing peace and prosperity for the people of Gaza and the region as a whole.»
A ceasefire between Israel and Hamas went into effect last weekend after two years of war in the region following the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks in southern Israel.

On Monday, the 20 remaining surviving Israeli hostages were returned to Israel per the agreement, but more than a dozen remains of hostages who were killed are still under Hamas control.
The State Department added that «measures will be taken to protect the people of Gaza and preserve the integrity of the ceasefire» if Hamas proceeds with the attack.
On Thursday, President Donald Trump issued a warning on Truth Social after footage circulated online showing Hamas fighters executing Palestinians in Gaza City’s main square.
«If Hamas continues to kill people in Gaza, which was not the deal, we will have no choice but to go in and kill them,» he wrote.

According to Reuters, at least 33 people were executed by Hamas in recent days in what officials described as a campaign to «show strength» after the ceasefire. Israeli sources say most of those killed belonged to families accused of collaborating with Israel or supporting rival militias.
Trump later clarified that U.S. troops would not go into Gaza.

Newsom clashes with White House over Marine Corps anniversary celebration highway closure

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The 250th anniversary celebration of the U.S. Marine Corps at San Diego County’s Camp Pendleton Saturday sparked a heated social media exchange between California Gov. Gavin Newsom and the White House.
The event, America’s Marines 250: From Sea to Shore: A Review of Amphibious Strength, featured a range of festivities at the Marine Corps base, including a large-scale live-fire demonstration attended by Vice President JD Vance.
Newsom blasted the display of military power as «dangerous» and «an absurd show of force,» announcing Saturday that a section of Interstate 5 near the base would be temporarily closed during the celebration.
«Because of the Trump Admin’s plans, drivers should expect delays on Interstate 5 and other state routes throughout Southern California before, during and after the event,» Newsom posted to X.

The Democrat doubled down later in the day, accusing the White House of denying earlier in the week that any freeway closures would be needed despite the use of live munitions.

However, the White House quickly fired back, accusing Newsom of distorting the facts.
«Newscum is lying,» the White House’s Rapid Response account posted to X. «He closed the highway — not only did nobody at the White House or the Marines ask him to do so, the Marines repeatedly said there are no public safety concerns with today’s exercises. Newscum lies and tries to make it about himself? Day ending in ‘y.’»
The White House account also reposted an X post from Trump advisor Alex Bruesewitz, who wrote, «Gavin Newscum is shutting down a major CA highway just because JD Vance is in the state. Inconveniencing tens of thousands of Americans. What a petty little man.»

Newsom then rebutted, «The [California Highway Patrol] and highway safety experts are saying what any person with common sense knows: It is not safe for people to drive on a major freeway at high speeds directly under LIVE MUNITIONS.
«White House not communicating, endangering the public, and then trying to blame the Governor for doing the right thing — keeping people out of harm’s way — yet another day living in Trump’s authoritarian America.»

The exchange followed days of tension between Newsom and the Trump administration over the Camp Pendleton event.
Earlier in the week, the California governor called the anniversary celebration a «vanity parade.»
«Donald Trump and JD Vance think that shutting down the I-5 to shoot out missiles from ships is how you respect the military,» Newsom posted to X Wednesday, while reposting an X post from left-leaning outlet MeidasTouch that claimed the White House planned to close parts of the I-5 during the event. «PUT ASIDE YOUR VANITY PARADE AND PAY OUR TROOPS INSTEAD.»
However, William Martin, special assistant to the president and communications director to the vice president, quickly pushed back against Newsom.

«This is complete fake news,» Martin declared in a post on X, which was reposted by the @VP X account. «The Marine Corps said they are NOT shutting down the I-5 highway and that the event at Camp Pendleton is a training exercise. Also, President Trump IS paying the troops despite Chuck Schumer’s efforts to hold their salaries hostage.»
A Marine Corps press release Wednesday about the festivities said that «no public highways or transportation routes will be closed.»

Extensive safety measures were implemented at the celebration, which was expected to draw more than 15,000 attendees, including detailed risk assessments, emergency crews on site and fully scripted air, surface and ground movements, FOX 11 Los Angeles reported earlier in the week, citing event organizers.
Newsom and the White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
