Hamas and the allied Islamic Jihad have rejected an Egyptian proposal that they relinquish power in the Gaza Strip in return for a permanent ceasefire, two Egyptian security sources told Reuters on Monday.
Sadly support for Hamas has been growing as a resort of this conflict.
They seem pleased with the outcome, so why would they agree to compromise? It’s a horrible situation.
Actually no, according to the poll Hamas support in Gaza slipped(while it grew in PA).
Only 52% of Gazans supported HAMAS a few weeks ago, and it may be even lower right now. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/poll-shows-palestinians-back-oct-7-attack-israel-support-hamas-rises-2023-12-14/
i mean, 52% still sounds high, but I don’t know what the number was in September either.
Maybe it does sound high, but it’s barely a majority, I think it’s even lower now, especially with how violent Hamas against it’s own civilians.
