Overview

  • 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.
