Protests Against Hamas Intensify Across Gaza

Demonstrators demand an end to the war, improved living conditions, and the removal of Hamas, risking severe consequences.

Protests, which began on March 25 in Beit Lahia, have spread to Gaza City, Beit Hanun, Jabalia, and Khan Yunis, with growing participation.
Demonstrators blame Hamas for Gaza's dire humanitarian crisis, citing lack of food, education, and safety after 17 months of war.
Hamas-affiliated media downplay the protests, framing them as opposition to Israeli aggression rather than criticism of Hamas' governance.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu claims the protests highlight Hamas' failures, while Fatah calls for Hamas to relinquish control to the Palestinian Authority.
The protests are rare and dangerous, with participants facing potential arrest, torture, or death under Hamas' rule.
