Hamas After Cease-Fire: Weakened but Still the Dominant Palestinian Power in Gaza
Briefly

Despite suffering significant losses and isolation after the October 2023 attack, Hamas remains resilient. Analysts state that international pressure could hinder Israel's ability to continue military operations effectively.
Even with internal criticism for unleashing widespread destruction in Gaza, Hamas continues to wield considerable influence, maintaining its role as the dominant Palestinian power amidst devastation.
The recent cease-fire agreement may provide an opportunity for Hamas to reclaim control in Gaza, as analysts suggest Israel might struggle against international pressure to resume attacks.
The complicated dynamics of the region have left Hamas primarily alone in its fight against Israel, yet its leadership believes it still plays an essential role in Gaza's future.
