Voices from Gaza: Protests demand an end to war and suffering

Al Jazeera  

Protest have come out for three days in Gaza, people calling for an end to Israel’s genocidal war on the enclave. “The idea of taking to the streets in protests, holding signs calling for an immediate end to the war, was born.” Saad was forced to flee Beit Lahiya two months into Israel’s war on Gaza. “The people’s demands stem from an unbearable reality … If ending the war requires Hamas to step aside, then so be it.” However, Saad added, he rejects any political exploitation of the protests to attack Hamas and the Palestinian resistance. Munthir al-Hayek, Gaza spokesperson for Fatah – Hamas’s political rival that dominates the Palestinian Authority – wrote on Facebook, urging Hamas to “heed the people’s voice” and step down, enabling the PA and the Palestine Liberation Organization to assume responsibility. “It’s dire.” Regarding the calls for Hamas to relinquish power, al-Haj Ahmed said that if Hamas stepping down would alleviate people’s suffering, he would support that without hesitation.
