Israel returned to the war last week, and Hamas demanded an attack in exchange for the release of more hostage captured on October 7, 2023 and the release of Israel’s Palestinian prisoners.

A Palestinian political analyst and columnist based in London, Akram Atallah said, “Hamas cannot fight Israel, nor can it be calm or prisoner. He cannot provide the foundations of life for people.” He said. “Hamas no longer has any options, so people have started to look for possible power supplies within themselves.”

The protest attracted the attention of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who faced a new street protester wave outside his house in Jerusalem against his decision to return to the war in Gaza, while the Israeli hostages were there.

Netanyahu said in a statement on Wednesday, “We saw something we don’t like. We saw great, open protests against Hamas administration on the Gaza strip.” He said. “More and more gazans understand that Hamas brings them destruction and apocalypse. This is important. All this shows that our policy is working.”

Mohammed said, “People are tired of being displaced. People don’t have a safer place to go, Mo Mohammed said. “So people went to the streets spontaneously and asked for the Hamas administration in Gaza to fall.

Protests against Hamas before the current war broke down

The Palestinian Islamist militant group did not tolerate the open opposition in Gaza for about 18 years.

In 2019, a rare protest against Hamas’s high taxes was subjected to an economic blockade led by Palestinians Israel.

During the current war, the Palestinians spoke more clearly by accusing Hamas of not protecting them. According to Gaza Health officials, Israeli air strikes killed more than 50,000 women and children.

Hamas could not break or arrest the protest on Tuesday. He did not comment on the protest.

A Israeli columnist said Israel should benefit from that moment.

Nadav Eyal, “The protest in the Gaza Strip is now exploding because many gazans tasted the long -term ceasefire experience, tired of the war and never really love Hamas.” Ynet wrote on the Israeli news site.

“Instead of talking about ‘no innocent in Gaza’ or ‘complete victory’, Israel’s time to seize the filling crack – because war was won not only with the collections and bombs, but also in political movements.”
