Hamas tightens grip in Gaza as Trump pushes peace plan
Hamas controls over 90% of Gaza, restoring ministries and tax systems while Trump’s peace plan presses for disarmament and civilian governance transfer.
- Hamas, the militant group governing Gaza, is reasserting control across the Gaza Strip after last October's ceasefire, with locals reporting expanded authority over security, tax revenue, and services.
- Because revenue and local security matter to its survival, Hamas is focused on preserving control and arms, with Gaza's population being a key source of influence, according to sources.
- Hamas has moved administratively, appointing five district governors tied to al-Qassam Brigades and replacing senior ministry officials, while 14 Gaza ministries and 13 municipalities resumed operations and police patrol streets.
- The technocratic committee remains blocked from Gaza while Trump’s Board of Peace meets on Thursday, with Israel insisting on Hamas disarmament before US housing for 200,000 Gazans proceeds.
- Analysts warn that delays risk creating a de facto reality favouring Hamas, as Mohammed Diab, Gaza activist, said Hamas regained control of more than 90% of areas where it is present.
