Hamas Must Relinquish Power in Gaza
(MEMRI) In a February 11, 2025, interview on Al-Arabiya, Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit called on Hamas to relinquish power in Gaza. In response, senior journalist Tariq Al-Homayed wrote in Asharq Al-Awsat that "Hamas must step aside. Hamas giving up on power serves Palestinian and Arab interests." "Another undeniable fact (and everyone understands this, whatever they say in public) is that there will be no reconstruction or funding as long as Hamas remains in power. Who would even be willing to rebuild a territory that might soon face its sixth war before clearing the rubble? Accordingly, conducting the same failed experiments again is not an option. The reality is clear, the dangers are imminent, and they must be confronted with rationality, not slogans or emotions."
