"Hamas had a chance to turn Gaza into something better,"
Israel: State of a Nation
In a reflection on the governance of Gaza, Middle East analyst Seth Frantzman argues that Hamas squandered opportunities to improve the region. Instead of focusing on development and bettering the lives of its residents, he claims that Hamas prioritized militarization and preparations for warfare. Frantzman's analysis suggests that Hamas's leadership choices have significantly hindered the potential for peace and prosperity in Gaza, impacting Israeli and Palestinian relations.
