Hamas’s feud with Palestinian rivals adds to doubts over Gaza’s postwar future

Live Mint  

RAMALLAH, West Bank—Signs of a civil conflict between Hamas and its Palestinian rivals are beginning to build, raising far-reaching questions about what a postwar government in Gaza might look like—and how long it might last. Hamas’s interior ministry told Hamas-affiliated Al-Aqsa TV that its police on March 30 arrested six people from a “suspicious force" managed by Palestinian Authority intelligence officials that entered Gaza with the Egyptian Red Crescent Society. Five of the detained Palestinian Authority officials, whom Hamas arrested in Gaza City, remain in captivity, a senior Palestinian Authority official said. Two Palestinian Authority officials from Gaza were killed in the past couple of weeks, but it isn’t clear if Israel or Hamas killed them, the official said. “A reformed Palestinian Authority is essential to delivering results for the Palestinian people and establishing the conditions for stability in both the West Bank and Gaza," the official said.
