A cease-fire after two years of war with Israel has allowed Hamas to tighten its grip on power again. “It’s still standing,” one Israeli official said.

Over two years of war, top Hamas commanders and thousands of fighters have been killed, and the group’s arsenal has been severely depleted. It now controls less than half of the territory in Gaza, with the rest occupied by Israel.

Yet Hamas has managed to reassert its power in Gaza, according to Israeli security officials and an Arab intelligence official.

This swift regrouping presents a formidable obstacle to the Trump administration’s plan to reconstruct a Gaza free of Hamas. [yes!]

    according to Israeli security officials

    So it’s complete bullshit to further the genocide of Palestinians.

    Cease-fire is doing a lot of heavy lifting here when Gaza is literally just a pile a rubble at this point.

      To be fair, this post is down voted there too. The average .ml, like the vast majority of the world population, does not support the ongoing genocide.
