Why would Hamas yield power back to the PNA after ruling Gaza for 18 years? The good of the people?
I dunno, ask them.
More seriously, Hamas’s claim to legitimacy is their fight for Palestinian self-determination. If that’s back on the table, they won’t be able to maintain their authoritarian state anymore, because both Palestinians and the international community will want them gone, or at least out of power so democratic elections can take place. Also, this is pretty much what they accepted in the Jan 2025 ceasefire; it’d be a political impossibility for them to maintain undemocratic rule without active Israeli aggression and they know that.
TL;DR: Because they’ll have no other choice. Also I’m not sure what this has to do with my comment.
