Local dissatisfaction with the Hamas leadership has been growing among Gazans amid Israel’s military operation. This was reported by Bloomberg.
As an example, a video is shown in which a man identifies himself as Yusuf Mahmoud Hamad al-Mansi, the former Minister of Communications and Construction in the Hamas government. He responded to a video in which the head of the organization, Yahya Sinwar, blamed Israel for the destruction of Gaza and said that Sinwar was actually responsible.
In addition, Bloomberg cites publications from Gaza Strip residents and phone interviews in which Palestinian representatives blame the Hamas leadership for the humanitarian disaster in the region.
On October 7, Hamas launched a massive rocket attack on Israel, declaring Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. As part of the attack, thousands of militants entered the territory of the Jewish state, seized military equipment and captured more than two hundred people. In response, Israel launched Operation Iron Sword in the Gaza Strip, vowing to destroy Hamas. The actions of the Jewish state led to a blockade of the Palestinian enclave, massive bombings, and demands for the evacuation of more than 1 million people to the south of the region.
On November 22, Israel approved an agreement with Hamas to release hostages held in the Gaza Strip. According to the agreement, a four-day ceasefire will be declared during which Hamas will release 50 women and children. Red Cross representatives will also be allowed to visit the remaining hostages to provide necessary medical care. As Israel’s permanent representative to the UN, Gilad Erdan, stated, after the pause ends, Israel will continue to solve the problems in the Palestinian region. The ceasefire between the parties began to operate on November 24, but was interrupted by Israel on December 1, under the pretext of Hamas not complying with the conditions for the release of hostages.
