TL;DR

Israeli Minister Avi Dichter addressed Gaza residents in Arabic, saying Hamas condemned them to lives of poverty for generations. He stated that tomorrow (Thursday) Gaza residents are expected to take to the streets in mass demonstrations against Hamas.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Israeli Minister Avi Dichter, a former Shin Bet director with deep experience in Gaza, released a direct video appeal to Gaza residents in colloquial Gaza Arabic. "Under Hamas you are condemned to lives of poverty and misery for generations," he said. Dichter added that tomorrow (Thursday) Gaza residents are expected to take to the streets en masse to protest against Hamas. The appeal follows a similar message earlier this week from COGAT — Israel's military liaison to the territories — which told Gaza residents that Hamas is blocking their future by rejecting the Trump framework. Dichter's call is the latest in a series of Israeli attempts to drive a wedge between Gaza's civilian population and Hamas leadership amid the ongoing war. The announcement itself is not yet independently corroborated by video or other sources, and the scope of the expected demonstrations remains unclear.
