Hamas Faces Financial Strain
Hamas’s military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, has not paid its fighters for nearly three months due to financial difficulties exacerbated by Israel halting humanitarian aid in March, according to Sharq al Aawsat. The group’s popularity in Gaza has significantly declined, with protests against Hamas’s rule and calls to end it, while in the West Bank, Hamas members face crackdowns that limit their operations. Additionally, Hamas is under pressure in Lebanon, where the government demands disarmament, as it confronts an unprecedented crisis but hopes to recover post-war.
