I think they’ve been good at gathering international support from Qatar, Iran, Lebanon, and Turkey. With this latest act showing the weakness of Israel and the genocidal brutality of Israel’s response, they might just win support from other regional powers as well. If this blows up in a regional war, Israel isn’t going to have a lot of local allies because Hamas has cultivated a strong base of support in West Asia.
And it’s not like gaining support from Westerners matters. Our governments are 100% behind Israel no matter what, so what’s the point?
You’re underestimating the political acumen of Hamas. Remember, they did get elected in Gaza. They’re politicians and guerillas.
