Is Hamas losing control in Gaza?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hamas' two-decade rule over Gaza may finally be coming to an end, amid the Israeli occupation, challenge from a rising rival militia, and growing opposition among its own people.

 

In response, the Islamist group has suggested in recent statements it could hand over control of Gaza willingly, but does this "signal a real change of heart, or are they just another calculated move to buy time and polish their image on the world stage?", asked The Jerusalem Post.

 

Confirmation at the weekend of former Hamas military chief Mohammed Sinwar's death "changes little in and of itself", said The Economist.

An interesting article above which refers to Abbas, the Palestinian leader, calling for Hamas to hand over their weapons and let an Arab and international force 'protect the Palestinian people'. Apparently Hamas has offered to turn over the running of Gaza to a new government.
