Gaza's Faustian Bargain Ghazi Hamad, a senior Hamas negotiator, recently appeared on Piers Morgan's show, trying to justify his group's decision to disarm its militant wing as a condition for Israel's withdrawal from Gaza.
According to him, disarming was necessary to "save" Gaza – a claim that raises more questions than answers. Hamad's assertion is particularly puzzling given Hamas's circumstances.
The group's military capabilities have been severely diminished in recent years due to Israeli airstrikes and internal rivalries.
