In recent days, residents in Gaza have expressed great anger at Hamas. They are frustrated that Hamas continues to fire rockets at Israel, because this causes a harsh Israeli response that forces them to leave their homes.
People are also demanding that Hamas give up control of Gaza in order to reach a ceasefire that will stop the suffering from the Israeli bombings – writes the Saudi newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat.
FEARING FUTURE REVENGE
The newspaper quotes a young man who said that the reason Hamas has not come out against them now is because Israel immediately bombs any Hamas member who appears openly. He worries that once Hamas becomes stronger again, it will persecute the demonstrators as it did in the past.
