Gazans prepare for ‘revolution’ against Hamas: ‘We are coming’
Gazans are organizing a grassroots uprising against Hamas with a mass demonstration planned for June 26, following years of escalating violence and systematic abuses documented by the UN.
A Facebook page believed to have been launched by Gazans living in exile is rallying Palestinians inside the territory to take to the streets and confront Hamas following two years of escalating violence and public executions, according to New York Post.
The page, titled June 26 Revolution, has attracted dozens of supportive messages and issued a defiant call to action against the Islamist militant group’s reign of terror.
Organizers are demanding that Hamas and other authoritarian forces controlling Gaza place the welfare of ordinary citizens above their own political ambitions and violent agenda. The movement represents a rare show of internal opposition within a territory where dissent is typically met with swift and brutal reprisal.
Rami Haroon, a Gaza resident backing the planned protest, told New York Post that the movement seeks to demonstrate that circumstances have fundamentally shifted and that residents who have long remained silent are now prepared to speak out despite serious personal danger.
Haroon explained that Gazans are demanding an end to reckless policies that treat civilian lives as expendable and reject empty rhetoric about patriotism used to mask catastrophic failures in governance. He expressed support for peaceful movements calling for dignity, security, and a viable future free from deadly gambles and extremist adventures that consistently exact a heavy toll on ordinary people.
The uprising comes as a newly released United Nations report documented systematic abuses by Hamas security forces throughout Gaza over the past two years. The UN investigation found that Hamas terrorists and police units have engaged in widespread beatings, torture, and public executions of Palestinian civilians.
According to the UN findings, at least seven Palestinians were killed and 832 injured by Hamas forces in 2025 alone, representing a 130 percent increase from the previous year. The report warns that this violent trend has continued into 2026 with near-daily incidents.
Srinivasan Muralidhar, chair of the UN Human Rights Council commission, stated that his team is deeply troubled by the severity and public nature of Hamas punitive actions, which inflict additional trauma on a civilian population already suffering immense psychological damage. He emphasized that any future peace framework for Gaza must incorporate clear accountability mechanisms.
The planned June 26 demonstration represents a significant challenge to Hamas authority at a time when the terror group faces mounting international pressure and growing discontent from the very population it claims to represent.
