Hamas accuses Trump of ‘conspiracy’ against Palestinian terrorism
The Palestinian terrorist organization ruling the Gaza Strip says US President Donald Trump’s call to strengthen the security forces of the Palestinian Authority in its fight against terrorism indicated a “conspiracy against the Palestinian resistance.”
