Since 25 March 2025, protests have taken place across the Gaza Strip against Hamas, which has held exclusive control over the territory since 2007.[12] Demonstrators called on Hamas to give up its rule[13][5] and bring an end to the war with Israel.[13][5][14] Many of the protests against Hamas are part of wider protests against the Gaza war.[15][14][16] The protests appear to be sparked by widespread local war exhaustion and dissatisfaction with the leadership style and tactics of Hamas following Israel's resumption of the Gaza war earlier in the month.[5][6][17][14] Several days after the protests began, there were reports that Hamas executed six Gazans and publicly flogged or kidnapped others who had taken part in the demonstrations; some of them remain missing.[18][19]
They mark the biggest protests against Hamas to take place in Gaza since the October 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel.[5][6] Anti-Hamas protests in the territory had previously taken place in summer 2023, 2019, and from 2011 to 2012.
