Hamas is strategically positioning to respond to potential challenges to its rule in the Gaza Strip, particularly in light of the IDF\u2019s recent military advance.<\/p>\n
The organization anticipates Israel weakening Hamas control in Gaza and is taking proactive measures.<\/p>\n
One significant demand by Hamas is the release of senior Fatah official Marwan Barghouti from Israeli prison.<\/p>\n
The assumption is that Barghouti’s release could undermine the U.S. plan to establish a “revitalized PA” and weaken the Palestinian Authority’s (PA) influence in Gaza.<\/p>\n
This demand has raised concerns within the PA leadership, as the release of Barghouti and Ahmed Sa’adat, leader of the Popular Front, is being linked to a deal involving Israeli hostages.<\/p>\n
