Support for Hamas declines as it threatens starving Palestinians seeking aid

A terrorist group known as Hamas has been tormented for a long time Gauze strip But he is faced with the crisis point because his influence and support, which was already remote, still falls due to the inner pressure to end the war and restore the hostage recorded during the attack on October 7, 2023.

“Hamas’s current posture reveals a critical point of bend in adherence to Gaza’s belt,” Joe Truzman, Senior Research Analyst and editor of the Democracy Defense Foundation “Long War Journal “and an expert on the Palestinian terrorist group, he told Fox News Digital.” Concerning the new mechanism of the distribution of help, the one who coordinates the US and Israel, Hamas signals that his main concern is not the benefit of the Palestinians, but to preserve his authority. “

Despite the months -long blocking of help on the gauze belt Israel And the images of hunger, Hamas threatened to any Palestinian civilians this week who accept food assistance for their families and warned that they would “pay the price, and we will take the necessary measures”.

Despite threats, the Palestinians flooded places to help Raised by the American Israeli Humanitarian Gaza (GHF) humanitarian foundation, allegedly resulted in scenes of chaos as a desperate civilian on Tuesday in one place of distribution. Israeli defense forces (IDF) said his “troops fired a warning in the area outside the junction” adding, “control over the situation was determined … and the security of the IDF is not threatened.”

The UN Human Rights Office claimed that about 47 people were injured during the shooting, while the HAMAS Health Ministry said one person was killed and 48 people were wounded, reported BbcAlthough Fox News Digital could not independently check the accident number.

On Wednesday, GHF said in a statement that, contrary to reports, no Palestinians were questioned or detained while they were given assistance. In addition, GHF said no Palestinians were shot or killed while trying to get help.

“As we have repeatedly warned, there are many parties who want to see GHF failure. Their goal is to force a return to the status quo, even if it means risking help saving people from Gaza,” GHF states. “Reports of the opposite come from Hamas and are incorrect.”

Truzman explained that in Hamas it is an interest in providing help as negative as possible and use chaos to promote his Return to power.

“Hamas had a significant impact on help flows, which he used not only for management, but also as an impact on strengthening loyalty, awarding a patronage network and maintenance of internal control,” the expert explained. “The erosion of this influence is both a symbolic and operational threat of a group.

“Since Hamas set aside from the help process, the group faces a crisis of legitimacy,” Truzman added.

Despite the chaotic scenes that appeared that help had finally returned to Gaza, GHF said on Tuesday that he had so far shared about 8,000 food boxes in total number of 462,000 meals.

On Wednesday, eight trucks were delivered, which is about 378,262 meals.

“Operations will continue to increase,” GHF confirmed.

One Gazan told the Center for Peaceful Communication that the failure of the Hamas, which serves as a local administration, to provide affordable and affordable food, brought civilians to the US distribution site.

“In fact, they were good to us,” he said. “They gave meals cards and they started telling us to take them. Unlike those ruling gauze who do nothing for us.

“We, as a people, tell you that we need anyone, anyone who can give us these supplies,” he added. “Otherwise, no one would go to the US distribution point. If Hamas listens to us, get off the back of people.

“People die,” the man added.

In recent months, the civilian population has not only turned to external actors for relief, where they are possible, have more and more calls for Hamas To get hostage back, stop the war and even leave a gauze tape.

“This shift undermines Hamas’s image as an authority in Gaza and reveals a weakened state,” Truzman said.

“However, any assumption that Hamas could loosen in these conditions must be alleviated by the nature of his surviving leadership,” he warned. “Those who remain at the helm are one of the most important and military members of the organization.”

Hamas took over Gaza’s belt in 2007 after defeating his rival party, Fatah, which is part of the Palestinian liberation organization.

Despite the vote of the crowd almost two decades ago, Hamas has been fighting for years to maintain control and stability and his support and in leadership until the 2023 attacks, which encouraged the greatest war between Israel and Hamas in Gazi-missed and his leadership became unpopular.

“If the new mechanism for help manages to improve the living conditions for Palestinians, extinguishing what Hamas has managed to provide during the war times, it is unlikely that the growing public dissatisfaction with the group is likely to turn,” Truzman told Fox News Digital. “Even an imperfect, but the external controlled assistance system can further expose Hamas’ failure in management, especially its priority retention of power in relation to the benefit of the population.

“Although the tangible improvements will take time to come true, the perception itself that life can be improved without hammass can be enough to further move public views against the group,” he added.
