The Palestinian news agency Wafa reported widespread protests in Gaza, with demonstrators voicing opposition to Hamas’ rule. The protests are centered around calls for Hamas to cease its control over the future of Gaza’s inhabitants. The protesters emphasized that “the Palestinian people will not agree for their fate to be dictated by regional agendas that do not reflect the national identity and interests of the Palestinian people.”
Sabri Saidam, deputy secretary-general of Fatah’s Central Committee, responded to the protests, stressing that Hamas must comprehend the gravity of the situation and make rational choices to avoid further loss of life. In an interview with Voice of Palestine radio, he said, “Hamas needs to reassess its policies and agree to the Arab initiative to end the war.”
Saidam also highlighted that the Palestinian people have a right to question the high number of casualties among Palestinians during the conflict, referring to the events as “many massacres.” He emphasized the urgent need for a responsible approach that could lead to a halt in hostilities, particularly with Israel planning to resume its military operations in Gaza.The post Following Extensive Military Pressure, Senior Fatah Member Calls On Hamas To End War first appeared on Matzav.com.
