The Timing and Origins of the Protests in Gaza
This chapter discusses the timing and origins of the protests in Gaza, initiated by civil society individuals and not tied to any political faction. It explores Hamas's appropriation of the protests to divert attention from their own shortcomings and their threat to the leadership in the West Bank. The chapter also examines the legal justification behind the Israeli government's response to the protests and the complex dynamic between Hamas and the Palestinian Authority.
