"The residents are hostages of Hamas. The people of Gaza are not Hamas. The people of Gaza hate Hamas, but who will free them?" -Gaza resident “M.”

Hamas's willingness to exploit Gazan civilians knows no bounds. An April 2024 document discovered by IDF troops revealed a Hamas plan to plant explosives in displaced persons camps in Gaza. Why? Because Hamas terrorists were hiding in the camps, and needed to create a smokescreen to flee as IDF troops approached. Hamas hides among Gazan civilians and is willing to kill them to protect its own operatives.

“We already see and know that Hamas is taking money from the merchants, demanding millions from some of them in protection money." -Gaza resident “A.”

New report: Israel's Shin Bet approved 3,000 Gazan workers to help build "New Rafah" — but Hamas is blocking them from going to areas of Gaza under IDF control. Gazans want a better life: Real homes, jobs, income, education, and freedoms. But Hamas wants to keep oppressing the Palestinian people.

"Honestly, the security situation in the Gaza Strip has gotten completely out of control. All kinds of problems and crimes are taking place, and there is no security authority to bring criminals to justice, pursue murderers, or catch thieves." -Gaza resident "A."

On October 27, Israelis go to the polls for the first time since October 7. And as a Palestinian, I have a few thoughts. I wrote them for @TheFP alongside Michael Oren, Yossi Klein Halevi and others on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's legacy. thefp.com/p/israel-elections…

How Will Israelis—and History—Judge Benjamin Netanyahu?

In Israel’s first election since October 7, voters will deliver a verdict on their longest-serving prime minister. Haviv Rettig Gur, Michael Oren, Yossi Klein Halevi, and others weigh his record.

The war in Gaza ended a year ago. Since then, humanitarian aid has increased, and school has resumed. But Hamas has also used the time to rebuild and reassert control over the half of Gaza the IDF does not control. It has entrenched itself in hospitals, schools, and mosques, and resumed building rockets and digging terror tunnels, preparing for the next round of war with Israel.

On October 7, 2023, the Hamas terrorist organization launched a genocide against Israel. We must never forget.
The image features overlaid text on top of various blurred background images. The text reads: "NEVER FORGET OCTOBER 7. On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists launched a genocide against Israel. They massacred Israeli civilians while their leaders hid behind Palestinian ones. They took Israeli hostages while holding all of Gaza’s civilian population hostage. Three years later, they are desperately trying to maintain their grip on Gaza and to survive another day so they can commit October 7-like massacres again and again and again.

After the October 7 massacre, Israel and the US tried to get Gazan civilians out of harm's way before launching a ground campaign. US officials were even supposed to meet with Jordanian and Egyptian leaders to discuss a possible plan, according to Brett McGurk (Middle East Advisor to former US President Joe Biden). But when Hamas falsely blamed Israel for the failed terror rocket that hit Gaza's Al-Ahli Hospital, the meetings were canceled, and Gazan civilians were left stuck serving as Hamas's human shields.

Almost three years after the attacks of Oct. 7, it’s important to remember what Yahya Sinwar brought on my people that morning. Hamas intentionally sacrificed the future of every Palestinian in Gaza. Read my latest in @nydailynews: nydailynews.com/2026/10/01/h…

Hamas mostly harms Palestinian people

Speaking at the United Nations General Assembly last week, French President Emmanuel Macron stated: ‎”Hamas has never operated in the West Bank.” The facts beg to differ.

Hasan Piker and his stream mocked freed hostage Maya Regev at UT Austin, where she was also speaking the same night. Maya survived 50 days in Hamas captivity. His chat: "Damn they brought the Hamas captives fr fr."

SJP at @Cornell "unequivocally stands with Jane Doe and all survivors of sexual violence," but invited Hasan "it-doesn't-matter-if-rapes-f***ing-happened-on-October-7" Piker to speak on campus. As usual, Jews apparently don't count.

A new report from the UN found a 123% increase in early and forced marriages in Gaza in April-June 2026, compared to January-March 2026. Women and girls are being married off to their rapists or traded for food by guardians who do not want to take care of them. Where is the outrage? The campus protests? The UN resolutions?

JARED KUSHNER: Currently, I think the goal is very clear: We want to have a Gaza Strip that can thrive and reach its full potential. In order for that to happen, it must be fully demilitarized.
