Trump's Controversial Greenlight in Gaza: A New Era for Hamas?
President Trump claimed Hamas received approval for their internal security measures in Gaza. Since a ceasefire, Hamas has increased its policing to quell disorder. Despite controversy over the group's rule, an amnesty has been offered to those who looted aid, but only if they avoided violence.
In a surprising revelation, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Hamas had received approval for conducting internal security operations in Gaza. The Palestinian militant group, aiming to halt chaos and crime, deployed forces after a Friday ceasefire, with plans to fill any potential security void.
President Trump, responding to questions on Air Force One, confirmed that the temporary greenlight aims to ensure safety amid the return of nearly 2 million residents to demolished areas. Although details remain scant, Trump expressed cautious optimism about the situation's stability.
The conflict-ridden area, significantly damaged since Hamas' recent attack on Israel, has seen internal clashes. The Hamas Interior Ministry, seeking order, offered amnesty to non-violent offenders involved in looting, emphasizing efforts to restore law and order.
