Why Gaza's anti-Hamas protests failed to materialise

The anticipated anti-Hamas protests in Gaza didn't materialize due to a combination of factors, including fear of repression, widespread exhaustion from ongoing conflict, political uncertainty, and the daily struggle to survive amid the strife. This failure highlights the complex challenges facing any form of opposition in the region, where the risk of backlash and the sheer difficulty of daily life can stifle dissent. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for grasping the broader issues of governance and civil society in Gaza, as well as the broader implications for peace and stability in the region.
