October 11, 2025
Hamas has confirmed that it will not surrender its weapons, with an official stating that the issue is off the table. The organization has mobilized around 7,000 members to regain control of areas in Gaza after the withdrawal of Israeli forces. New governors with military backgrounds have been appointed, targeting criminals and collaborators with Israel. High levels of tension exist due to recent attacks and killings between rival factions. This situation raises concerns about political stability in post-war Gaza.
