US EditionNetanyahu Says Israel Has 'Activated' some Palestinian Clans in the Fight Against Hamas
- On June 6, 2025, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu announced that Israel had activated some Palestinian clans in Gaza to oppose Hamas amid the ongoing conflict.
- This strategy arose after Hamas weakened due to sustained Israeli military pressure, renewing earlier plans to support armed clans to disrupt Hamas control.
- The plan, proposed by a Shin Bet operative and approved by senior officials, included discreet weapons aid to clans, aiming to secure humanitarian aid routes and undermine Hamas dominance.
- The armed clans, particularly led by Yasser Abu Shabab, operate mainly in southern Gaza under Israeli oversight, but face accusations of aid looting and criminality, drawing criticism from Israeli opposition and humanitarian groups.
- Despite tensions and criticism, Israeli officials consider this approach vital for weakening Hamas's grip and protecting Israeli soldiers, though some security sources warn of long-term risks from arming such groups.
