Graham says Israel discussing reinvading Gaza to support factions
Senator Lindsey Graham stated that Israel is considering a potential reinvasion of Gaza to support Palestinian factions opposing Hamas following a peace deal backed by former President Donald Trump. This discussion arises amid reports and video evidence of Hamas militants executing members of rival Palestinian groups in Gaza. Graham emphasized that it would be preferable if Arab nations took the lead in removing Hamas, which would produce a greater regional impact than Israeli intervention. Some Palestinian clans, such as the Popular Forces militia-which reportedly receives Israeli support-have opposed hamas and may be supported by Israel to undermine the group. after Israel’s partial military withdrawal from Gaza due to the peace deal,Hamas has been targeting thes rival groups to consolidate power. Graham urged the Arab world to help prevent israel from having to reenter Gaza, underscoring the fragile state of the peace agreement and the ongoing challenges in ensuring stability in the region.
Graham says Israel discussing reinvading Gaza to support anti-Hamas factions
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said on Tuesday that Israel is discussing a potential reinvasion of Gaza to support anti-Hamas factions after the start of the Trump-backed peace deal.
The discussions come as masked Hamas terrorists execute members of rival Palestinian groups as seen in video footage.
“As I speak tonight, there are discussions in Israel about potentially going back in to save those tribes and clans that had the guts to stand up against Hamas,” Graham said on Fox News’s Hannity, although he noted it would be better if the factions stood up to Hamas.
“If the Arab world would be the force to take Hamas down, it would change the region far more than if Israel did it,” he added.
In June, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the Jewish state “activated” some armed Palestinian clans to undermine Hamas.
Some clans opposed to the terrorist group include the Popular Forces, the Doghmosh, the Al-Majayda, and the Hellis. Israel reportedly backs the Popular Forces militia by providing military support. Aid organizations accuse the group of looting humanitarian convoys in Gaza.
After the Israeli military withdrew from parts of Gaza as part of the peace agreement, Hamas is looking to take advantage of the newly established peace to flush out its domestic enemies.
Graham hopes the factions can rise to the occasion and topple Hamas from power.

“If Israel has to go back into Gaza to save these people, they will,” Graham said. “To the Arab world, don’t make them do that.”
The Israel-Hamas peace deal remains intact so far after President Donald Trump signed it, although Hamas hasn’t returned all remaining dead hostages yet as agreed. Twenty bodies remain in Gaza.
