Fatah, the movement led by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, has urged its rival Hamas to step down from governing Gaza to preserve the “existence” of Palestinians in the war-torn territory. This call comes as Israel intensifies its military operations and threatens to displace the population and annex parts of the Gaza Strip.
Fatah spokesman Monther al-Hayek emphasized that Hamas must show compassion for Gaza’s residents, warning of difficult days ahead if Hamas remains in power. Hamas seized control of Gaza in 2007, and subsequent reconciliation attempts between the two factions have failed.
The Gaza Strip has been severely affected by an Israeli war that has caused widespread destruction and a severe humanitarian crisis, exacerbated by an Israeli blockade on essential aid. Following disagreements over a ceasefire agreement initiated on January 19, Israel resumed airstrikes and launched a ground invasion.
Hamas continues to demand adherence to the original ceasefire terms, which include a phased exchange of captives and prisoners, followed by negotiations for a lasting truce. However, Israel, backed by the U.S., refuses to commit to these terms and instead demands Hamas’s disarmament and the demilitarization of Gaza.
In recent days, Israeli ministers have called for the complete disarmament of Hamas and the demilitarization of Gaza, threatening to deport parts of the population and annex significant areas. Despite these challenges, Fatah and Hamas have agreed to form a joint committee to administer post-war Gaza, although this plan requires approval from President Abbas and faces skepticism from Israel.
