The elimination of the Haniyeh passed without huge demonstrations and in relative silence in the West Bank. Is it about the drop in support for Hamas? Arab affairs expert: "Palestinians detest the corrupt club in Qatar"
Although recent public opinion polls indicated an increase in support for Hamas among Palestinians in the West Bank, Hamas leaders have every right to be disappointed with them for not taking to the streets en masse to mourn the death of the terrorist organization's "Political Bureau" chairman.
Even in Hebron, an old stronghold of Hamas supporters, only a few Palestinians responded to requests to hold a public demonstration following the assassination.
However, the low rate of participants does not indicate a decrease in support for Hamas. There are several key reasons for this, among them the recognition that Hamas forced the Palestinians in Gaza to experience another "Nakba" as a result of the October 7 attack.
