From: The Jerusalem Post March 29, 2025 Anti-Hamas Gaza protests face uphill battle with no leadership, allies, or leverage
Anti-Hamas protests gained fuel when Hamas went to ground on March 18 Now, they face a crossroads.
The protests that have rocked Gaza over the past week managed to maintain some momentum over the last several days. They took place during Ramadan and continued through the symbolic Laylat al-Qadr, which occurs toward the end of the month-long holiday.
It also continued through Friday, which is of significance because Fridays have additional importance during Ramadan, even above their usual weekly relevance.
However, the protests: 1. have lacked focus and leadership, 2. making it difficult for them to advance demands or 3. put forward any kind of method of governance that might replace Hamas.
This is important. Hamas: 1. is able to hide underground and wait out the protests, 2. as well as reorganize and target specific protesters who might emerge as leaders.
