As the conflict in Gaza continues, Hamas has reasserted its authority in the region, even as alternative governance efforts remain stalled. Reports indicate that despite being weakened, Hamas is actively working to rebuild and consolidate power day by day. Rival factions, including one led by a militia leader who has formed an opposing force, are warning that Hamas is regrouping during the ongoing ceasefire. The situation in Gaza remains precarious, with a semblance of normality longed for by its residents, but a sense of quasi-anarchy persists as Hamas dominates the landscape.
