End of Gaza militias occupation?
The militias supported by the Israeli occupation in the Gaza Strip, which were established as an alternative to Hamas rule, are experiencing a sharp decline in their ability to sustain themselves. There is increasing pressure to disarm and dismantle them as part of the upcoming phase arrangements. These groups, numbering a few thousand mostly from Fatah and the Palestinian Authority's security agencies, suffer from weak popular legitimacy and are facing growing social and international isolation—especially after Hamas successfully incorporated their disarmament into agreements and guarantees with mediators, along with a rise in security operations against them. Analyses confirm that these militias, which received weapons and resources from the occupation, are unable to match Hamas, and it is expected that they will disintegrate or fade away as their sources of funding decline and the occupation potentially withdraws from Gaza. This situation reflects the failure of the Israeli gamble to establish a local force opposed to Hamas.
