Hamas Faces Internal Struggles Amid Ongoing Conflict with Israel

The Gaza-based militant group Hamas is shifting its focus towards internal power struggles with the Palestinian Authority as it faces increasing losses in its war against Israel.


Hamas has reportedly lost over half its fighters since the onset of the conflict, raising questions about its ability to maintain dominance in Gaza while challenging the Palestinian Authority (PA), which governs the West Bank. The conflict between the two factions has escalated notably in December. With heightened military pressure from Israel, Hamas appears to be redirecting energy towards undermining the PA, despite the latter's historical control over the West Bank.

The potential for renewed peace negotiations, especially with changes in the U.S. administration, adds another layer of complexity to the situation. However, the fracturing relationship between Hamas and the PA, which is critical for any cohesive Palestinian strategy, poses significant challenges. Israel has focused on dismantling Hamas's operational capabilities, while the growing internal struggles among Palestinian leadership could further hamper diplomatic efforts.

The rivalry between Hamas and the PA raises critical questions about governance in Gaza and the West Bank. As these factions grapple with external and internal pressures, the future remains uncertain, with global observers closely monitoring developments in a conflict that resonates well beyond the immediate region.
