Given the mistrust (and disconnect) between the Gaza-based Hamas leadership and the terror group’s leaders abroad, one can only wonder whether the Qataris and Egyptians are not wasting their time.
Thus far, Hamas’s dream of “unifying the fronts” has not materialized, much to the dissatisfaction of Yahya Sinwar and his cohorts.
Alarmed by the possibility that some of the families in the Gaza Strip may start cooperating with Israel or the P.A., Hamas leaders have been pressuring clan leaders to declare their support for the terror group publicly.
In interviews with several laborers who used to work in Israel before the Hamas massacre, they warned that the situation in the West Bank was on the brink of an explosion due to the dire economic conditions.
Replacing one Mohammed with another.
The P.A. needs a total overhaul of its leadership, starting with Abbas himself and his veteran entourage.
