Clans Resist Hamas Amid Iran's Limited Support

Source: Battling to survive, Hamas faces defiant clans and doubts over Iran (2025-06-27)

In the Gaza Strip, various local clans are actively resisting Hamas's control, challenging the militant group's authority and influence. Despite Hamas's dominance, these clans maintain their independence and sometimes oppose Hamas's policies, complicating the group's efforts to consolidate power in the region. Iran's support for Hamas appears to be limited and uncertain, with some factions doubting the extent of Tehran's backing. This lack of clear backing from Iran raises questions about Hamas's ability to sustain its military and political campaigns, especially as local clans and other groups continue to resist its authority.
