"The Day After" the war: Hamas to cede Gaza crossings to Fatah 

Hamas has reportedly agreed to let Fatah take charge of the "civil leadership of Gaza" once the current war with Israel ends, according to a report by Al Arabiya.

Fatah, the faction aligned with Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas, is officially against terrorism. However, in practice, several of its police members have participated in terror attacks, and the group has openly claimed responsibility for such acts. Both Fatah and Abbas have been known to glorify terrorism, with Abbas paying salaries to imprisoned terrorists and prioritizing these payments over other PA needs.

Fatah had ruled Gaza until it was violently ousted by Hamas in 2007 during a bloody coup. Now, according to a Hamas source, the two rival factions have reached an agreement to reconcile, with a meeting set to take place next week. As part of the deal, Hamas will hand over control of Gaza's border crossings to Fatah.

Previous reports suggested that Mohammad Yusuf Dahlan, a high-ranking Fatah member known for his involvement in militant activities, would govern Gaza after the war. However, Dahlan has repeatedly denied any such intentions. In a recent interview with Sky News Arabic, he emphasized, “I clarified more than once my refusal to accept any security, ministerial, or operational position. I call for the creation of a realistic international action plan that will lead to the establishment of a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.”
