As Gaza despairs, Hamas has one option left: intifada
After the failure of Egypt-mediated Palestinian reconciliation, Gaza's deepening economic crisis has Hamas against a wall and violence lurks on the other side.
At the end of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ speech at the UN General Assembly meeting Sept. 27, thousands of Gaza Strip residents went out to the streets to demonstrate against him. At one protest near the Hamas government offices, “President Abbas does not represent us” appeared on several signs and protesters burned his picture.
The demonstrations were less spontaneous than they may have looked.
