We can all see how Hamas being in power has benefited the good people of Gaza by purposely and intentionally inviting Israel into Gaza on Oct 7th. I am sure that the good people of Gaza do not want more of the same.
Only a few months before the Oct 7, 2023 massacre in Israel, Gazans were marching in the streets against Hamas and taking a beating only months before Hamas started this current war, to purposely invite Israel into Gaza.
In July and August 2023, thousands of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip took to the streets to protest chronic power outages, poor economic conditions in the territory, and Hamas’s taxation of stipends intended for the poor paid by Qatar.— Source: Le Monde, Associated Press, and more.
