Gaza's governance vacuum enables Hamas resurgence amid prolonged Israeli occupation and regional instability

The resurgence of Hamas reflects systemic failures in post-conflict governance, exacerbated by Israel's blockade and lack of political alternatives. Mainstream coverage often overlooks how occupation, economic strangulation, and regional geopolitics create conditions for militant groups to fill power vacuums. Sustainable solutions require addressing root causes, not just military outcomes.
