After the truce between Iran and Israel... What is the fate of Gaza?

In light of the recent blow to Iran, fears are growing that Gaza could be next in line for exposure—not in terms of direct targeting, but rather in terms of the gradual abandonment of its most important backers. Hamas, which has long relied on Iranian support for funding and arms, now appears to be in an unenviable position. With Tehran preoccupied with its own internal crises and external pressures, it is only natural for it to reassess its priorities, and Gaza may not be at the top of the list.

The loss of this support not only means a decline in military capabilities, but also places the movement in an administrative and political quandary. As the governing body of a crowded and besieged Gaza Strip, Hamas is required to provide a minimum standard of living for its residents, a task that will become nearly impossible without external support. With regional options dwindling and the door to direct support from other Arab capitals closing, Hamas appears to be approaching the brink of a difficult decision, one that could plunge the entire Gaza Strip into chaos and internal collapse.

The fear today is not only for the future of the movement, but also for the fate of more than two million people living in tragic conditions, who may pay the price if Gaza enters a new phase of isolation and political starvation. If the path is not quickly reconsidered, the collapse will only be a matter of time, and the catastrophe will not distinguish between one party and another.
