Ghazi Hamad, of terror group's politburo, hails the major assault in which civilians were systematically murdered, saying 'there will be a second, a third, a fourth'
Under any solution (one or two state), Hamas will be the ones in power and representing the Palestinian block. Doesn’t matter if they do a good job of it or not.
They are the de facto (and kind of de jure…) government of Gaza. Hell, they run the Health Ministry that provides a lot of the updates.
If this somehow ends with anything short of further subjugation and/or eradication, they will be “heroes”. And they aren’t going to lessen their hold on the Palestinian people.
Popularity doesn’t really matter when they were, and are, the power in charge in Gaza.
And “popularity” will go through the roof if, somehow, they are the ones that get the Israeli Government to stop being genocidal dicks and actually make concessions… by raping and murdering Israeli, German, and UK citizens?
Considering Hamas is the organization governing Gaza right now, the two are often intertwined in these discussions

They were also very unpopular before Oct 7 and I doubt they’ve gotten any more popular since then.

Israel controls the borders
Yes Egypt also doesn’t exists
it really is amazing how all the Hamas supporters simply refuse to acknowledge this one simple fact
It seems to me that Hamas “governs” Palestine the same way groups like the Mafia or Yakuza “govern” the people they extort.
There is also the West Bank, however.
The West Bank has now been all but annexed by Israel.
Unfortunately
Yes, though most of the stuff is about Gaza
