Ali Shaath’s Controversial Admission
In an April 2025 interview, Ali Shaath, chief commissioner of the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, admitted to throwing stones at Israeli soldiers during demonstrations with Palestinian youth. He claimed to have organized these actions in Khan Yunis, asserting they aimed to resist Israeli occupation. However, concerns have arisen regarding his leadership following this admission, as Israeli experts argue it undermines the NCAG’s legitimacy. Critics emphasize Shaath’s dismissal of Israel’s right to exist and call for his replacement to foster genuine peace in Gaza.
