As the death toll in Gaza soars—many of the victims murdered by Hamas simply for the crime of seeking food—Fatah TV, controlled by Mahmoud Abbas, has explained Hamas’ policy: they want dead Gazans.

By increasing Gazan’s suffering and especially deaths, Hamas aims to ignite international outrage and force the world to pressure Israel into halting its campaign to destroy the Hamas terror network responsible for the October 7 massacre and atrocities.

As Fatah TV put it: “Hamas believes that more blood in the Gaza Strip helps it inflame public opinion against the behavior of the Israeli occupation.”
