Gaza Protests Call for Hamas to Step Down as Humanitarian Crisis Deepens

Thousands of Palestinians demand an end to the war with Israel and criticize Hamas' governance in rare public demonstrations.

  • Protests against Hamas have erupted across Gaza, with thousands calling for an end to the war and for the group to relinquish power.
  • Demonstrators in Beit Lahia and other areas chanted 'Hamas out' and carried signs such as 'We refuse to die' and 'Stop the war.'
  • The protests, the largest since Hamas took power in 2007, reflect growing frustration with the humanitarian crisis and destruction caused by the ongoing conflict.
  • Hamas, which has historically suppressed dissent, has largely refrained from intervening but dismissed the protests as politically motivated.
  • Israeli officials have voiced support for the demonstrations, framing them as aligned with their goal of removing Hamas from power.
