Shift in Focus: Gaza's Anger Shifts from Hamas to Israel

Palestinians in Gaza are increasingly hesitant to openly criticize Hamas, fearing retribution from the group and wanting to focus on highlighting Israel's bombings in the enclave. Hamas, designated as a terror group by the US and EU, has been accused of corruption, restricting freedom of expression, and other abuses. Surveys show that most Gazans favored a peace deal with Israel before the recent attacks, and many Palestinians are torn between being critical of Hamas and Israel. As Gaza faces a dire humanitarian crisis, there have been rare public shows of discontent with Hamas, but the group still maintains control over the territory.
