Hamas Eyes Post-war Role In Palestinian Politics

Description

Andreas Krieg, a security expert at Kings College London, said Hamas's power had shifted in the wake of October 7 and in the more than 100 days of war that have followed.

"If the metric is social, political control of Gaza, Hamas has certainly lost that," he said, but "internationally speaking, they have very much been able to strengthen their position".

"I think a case for a Palestinian state can be more easily made with more support... in the global south anyway, but also in the Western liberal north," he added.
