Anti-Hamas militias in Gaza endorse Trump’s peace plan
Exclusive video from the Center for Peace Communications shows anti-Hamas militia leaders in Gaza expressing support for Donald Trump’s proposed peace plan to end the conflict. (Video: The Center for Peace Communication.)
This comes amid reports of heavy fighting last week between an anti-Hamas clan and terrorists from the jihadist Hamas movement in a neighborhood in the Gaza Strip’s Khan Younis, which could mark a major change in local governance in the war-torn area.

The anti-Hamas militias’ full support for Trump’s plan could spell more trouble for the terrorist movement that has ruled Gaza with an iron fist for the past 17 years.
Three of the anti-Hamas militias publicly supported Trump’s Gaza peace plan, the CPC video shows. Yasser Abu Shabab, the head of the Popular Forces militia in Rafah, said: “We see in President Trump’s plan a path to stop the bloodshed and bring peace to the Middle East.”
WHO IS THE GAZAN CHALLENGING HAMAS RULE, AND DOES HE HAVE A CHANCE?

Ashraf Al-Mansi, leader of the Popular Northern Forces, said: “We, in the People’s Army, Northern Forces in the Gaza Strip, express our sincere thanks and appreciation to US President Donald Trump.”
Rami Hillis, the leader of the Popular Defense Forces, said his organization and the honorable clans in the Gaza Strip will “deploy our utmost efforts and capabilities to ensure the success of this proposal.” Two years ago, on October 7, the terrorist group Hamas invaded Israel and massacred approximately 1,200 people, including more than 40 American citizens.

“This is the first time that anti-Hamas militias have proven on the ground that they are capable of challenging Hamas in open battle and driving them out of their areas. We have seen small clashes before, but this seems to mark a major escalation,” said Michael Nahum of the CPC.
The CPC reported jointly with an American news organization, the Free Press footage on X about Friday’s deadly clashes that reportedly resulted in the deaths of 20 Hamas terrorists, including a commander.

According to the CPC, Hamas’ infamous “Sahm unit,” which is “known for brutally suppressing dissident voices from Gaza, went to Khan Younis” with the aim of arresting local Palestinians and “transferring them to a hospital for interrogation and possible execution.”
On the same day as the clashes, the Israeli military announced that Hamas had built sophisticated terrorist tunnels on the grounds of two hospitals – the Jordanian Field Hospital and the Hamad Hospital – in the Gaza Strip. In the tunnel next to the Jordanian hospital there was a workshop for the production of rockets. Hamas’s use of hospitals and medical facilities as weapon sites is considered a war crime under the Geneva Convention.

Hamas claims it entered Khan Younis to detain Palestinians working with Israel. The al-Mujaida clan in southern Gaza resisted the Hamas attack on about fifty Hamas terrorists aboard five pick-up trucks armed to the teeth, including with a rocket-propelled grenade launcher. Hamas reportedly killed five members of the large al-Mujaida family.

The anti-Hamas militias have reportedly received support from Israel. Nahum said they are growing, and there are now four and probably as many as 10 militias in the Gaza Strip. “For perhaps the first time in a generation, we may actually be looking at the end of Hamas rule in Gaza,” Nahum said.
By some estimates, there are an estimated 20,000 Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip.
