Trump says not too bothered about Hamas killing dozens of ‘gang members’ since ceasefire

Jacob Magid is The Times of Israel's US bureau chief

Commenting on Hamas’s killings, including summary executions, of dozens of “collaborators” since the ceasefire took place, US President Trump appears to justify the effort.

“They did take out a couple of gangs that were very bad… and they killed a number of gang members,” Trump says.

“That didn’t bother me much, to be honest with you. That’s okay. It’s a couple of very bad gangs. It’s no different than other countries like Venezuela [that have] sent their gangs [into the US],” he adds.
