Gaza Denies Israel's Agent Claims
The article discusses the efforts of the Israeli occupation to create armed Palestinian militias in the Gaza Strip as part of its attempts to reshape the internal landscape and maintain control over the territory. It works to support resistant-opposition groups by providing them with weapons, funding, and intelligence, as well as paying their salaries and offering medical care in Israeli hospitals. However, the occupation faces a significant challenge in granting these groups popular and political legitimacy, as they heavily rely on Israeli backing, which renders them non-independent and risks transforming them into security and political burdens. Historically, attempts to emulate the "Village Links" model in the West Bank have failed to generate independent local forces with widespread popular influence. The situation in Gaza indicates a deeper problem related to the lack of permanent legitimacy for these groups—especially as the Israeli military presence diminishes in any future settlement. This raises questions about who will protect and fund these groups, and how the Palestinian society, which views them as part of the occupation project, will respond. In short, the occupation faces failure in creating a genuine Palestinian alternative, as military control alone does not guarantee societal acceptance. The most important question remains: Can these groups be legitimized once their current utility has expired?
