The Thorn in Every Plan for Gaza by Michael J. Koplow, Israel Policy Forum, Koplow Column, July 3, 2024

New Poll Shows Gazans Pragmatic Now, But Not Long-Term by David Pollock and Faris Almaari, The Washington Institute for Near East Policy, Fikra Forum, July 15, 2022
A new public opinion poll from Gaza shows some pragmatic, short-term moderation toward the U.S. and Israel over the past year, including opposition to Hamas policies. However, long-term views remain hardline, with few changes during the same period.

Gaza Conflict 2021 Assessment: Observations and Lessons, The Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA), JINSA’s Gemunder Center Gaza Assessment Policy Project, October 2021
Our consensus judgment is that IDF military operations complied with LOAC [Law of Armed Conflict] and consistently implemented precautions to mitigate civilian risk, some exceeding those implemented in recent U.S. combat operations that we participated in, despite confronting an adversary that often sought to exacerbate that risk deliberately. Yet, we found a significant gap between this reality of IDF LOAC compliance, and of Hamas’ violation of it, and the public’s perception. Israel’s messaging efforts were unable to close this gap.

Could Israel Replicate Its Syrian Military Strategy in Gaza? by Michael Makovsky, The National Interest, June 20, 2021
Even if successfully executed with little cost, adopting the “campaign between the wars” to Gaza won’t solve Israel’s Gaza problem—but it could lead to longer intervals between wars, reducing bloodshed and insecurity in Israel and in Gaza, and that alone would offer a significant advance.

Gaza’s self-inflicted health crisis shows why peace remains a fantasy by Evelyn Gordon, Jewish News Service, February 13, 2019
Not content with merely refusing to solve the crisis, Hamas is actively making it worse. A major factor in the crisis has been the overload of patients caused by Hamas’s insistence on holding violent mass protests near the Israeli border every week for almost a year now.

Israel is right now dealing with two constant security headaches. One is Iran’s efforts to establish a permanent presence in southern Syria across from the Golan, the other is Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist activity in Gaza threatening the safety and security of Israelis in the south. Looking at the way in which Israel has been enormously successful in dealing with the first one yields some lessons for what Israel might do to mitigate the omnipresent second one.

Globally Isolated and Economically Crippled: Why Hamas is losing Gaza by Karl Vick, Time, October 17, 2011
Besieged by Israel and the West, which regards it as a terrorist group, and cut off from the Palestinian majority in the West Bank, Hamas has little to offer beyond its jihadist credentials — and the promise of clean government. So it’s hardly surprising that the party has been rapidly losing ground in its stronghold. Recent surveys by leading pollsters conclude that if elections were held in Gaza today, Hamas, an acronym in Arabic for the Islamic Resistance Movement, would not be returned to power. A June poll by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research found that Hamas would get just 28% of the vote, a steep decline from the 44% plurality it won in 2006.
Building Boom in Gaza’s Ruins Belies Misery That Remains by Ethan Bronner, New York Times, June 25, 2011
In assessing the condition of the 1.6 million people who live in Gaza, there are issues of where to draw the baseline and — often — what motivates the discussion. It has never been among the world’s poorest places. There is near universal literacy and relatively low infant mortality, and health conditions remain better than across much of the developing world.
