Some Palestinians fear Hamas will not honor President Donald Trump’s Middle East peace plan as footage emerged of the terrorists executing civilians in Gaza’s streets, the New York Post reported Tuesday.
Hamas began rounding up alleged Israeli collaborators and killing them as soon as the country’s military withdrew from Gaza after a ceasefire was announced Oct. 8, an anonymous Gazan activist told NYP. The broader 20-point peace agreement requires Hamas to permanently disarm, but video evidence of its brutality toward Palestinians shows it continues to terrorize Gaza.
“From the first moment the Israeli planes disappeared from the sky, Hamas began punishing the families,” the activist told NYP.
“Hamas executed civilians in front of people’s eyes,” the person reportedly said. “No names, no confessions — nothing. Just death.”
The Islamist group has no plans to wind down and could restart the cycle of war with Israel if left unchecked, Palestinian dissident Amin Abed told the outlet.
Hamas has executed around 33 people since the ceasefire went into effect, The Times of Israel reported, citing sources in Gaza. The organization, which has controlled Gaza by force since 2007, has not yet publicly promised to disarm.
“The world needs to understand that Gazans are not Hamas,” Abed reportedly said. “We want peace, not war. But every time we speak out, Hamas kills us first.”
Hamas-affiliated social media accounts posted graphic footage after the ceasefire that showed eight blindfolded individuals being publicly gunned down, CNN reported. The group claimed in a statement that the targets were “wanted individuals and outlaws.”
As part of the peace plan, Hamas released all 20 of its living hostages on Monday since abducting hundreds during its Oct. 7, 2023, massacre that ignited war with Israel. However, Israel accused the group on Wednesday of withholding one of its deceased hostages in violation of the agreement, saying one of the bodies it returned “does not match any of the hostages.”
Israel has released around 1,900 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for its hostages, The Associated Press reported.
Trump’s multi-phase peace plan demands that “a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee” govern Gaza instead of Hamas or similar militants. Trump warned during a Tuesday press conference about consequences for Hamas if it refused to disarm.
“Well, they’re going to disarm, because they said they were going to disarm,” Trump told a reporter. “And if they don’t disarm, we will disarm them.”
“They know I’m not playing games,” the president added.
Why don’t we just arm the tribes and let them deal with Hamas?
It is not an assumed fear; it is rational reasoned expectation that they fear
Hamas is supposed to disarm as part of the peace deal. Yeah,when monkeys fly out of my butt!
The only reason there was a “peace deal” was because they had a handful of living hostages. Now that the deal has been undone Israel should go in and exterminate every last one of them. Hamas needs extermination. Nothing less.
They “know” it’ll be violated.
I’ve read that anti-Hamas militias have been fighting Hamas in Gaza. There are several articles about them on the internet.
Anyone who trusts hamas is an idiot.
Probably everything you’ll ever want to know about what Hamass is up to...and not just in Gaza.

How many Gazans don’t support the Hamasses?
Two! If you count the guy looking into a mirror and the reflection looking back!
Trump & Bibi are well aware of this. They must have contingency plans.
I wonder what the first clues were to them?
What does that have to do with peace? Currently there is peace with Israel.
Hamas is the democratically elected governing body of Gaza, and like any country it can execute its own citizens for its own reasons.
Why would anyone get involved with their internal affairs?
Gazans are Hamas.
I hope they do!
Hamas Continues To Massacre..... Whoever They Want
There, fixed it
Of course they’re not going to “honor peace deal.”
Are you new ?
how many hundreds of miles of underground tunnels have they been alleged to build with that 300+ Million dollar cement plant?
Gonna have to flood those tunnels with methane, throw a single grenade in after that and stand back - FAR - away from any potential opening.
I’m sure they’ve stockpiled enough weapons, ammunition, paragliders and more to keep killing no matter what temporizing peace deal they agree to with their fingers crossed by any of the four methods of lying as approved by the prophet.
