Someone significant is, more than one likely. But the Sinai has a not insignificant terror presence, and Egyptian officers have been known to be sympathetic with the Muslim Brotherhood, so it’s not much of a stretch. And pre October, Israel didn’t make much of an effort destroying tunnels anywhere.

Israel maintains a naval blockade, as a result the Gaza City port is restricted to fishing boats. And search. Local manufacture, the make their own rockets, still requires raw materials. I don’t know if they’re making fertilizer explosives, but they’d have to import the fertilizer and fuel oil. I have to think the bulk comes in through the tunnels to the Sinai.
Bowman being a river to sea guy likely means a Judenrein Free Palestine river to sea. Still need Hamas to fight with other terror groups and help the brotherhood take over Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
Too bad most people don’t know that Jordan (formerly known as Trans Jordan) was the original two-state solution in 1922 after the creation of Mandatory Palestine in 1920
Before that it was part of the Jordan homeland. Try telling those same people that Jordan as a country is 2 years older than Israel, they'll think you're nuts. Or worse, tell them the Hashemite Monarchy isn't ancient, though they did spend about 9 of the last 10 centuries ruling in Mecca and Medina. The Ottomans let them stay there, the Brits and Sauds threw them out.

Presuming at some point the US had information on the location of top Hamas leaders in Gaza, the lifespan of that information is measured in hours at best. Useless as a bribe for Israel to leave Gaza.
Probably. In fairness, they can't really answer a poll so there's no way of knowing. But given their educational system designed to raise terrorists, sorry martyrs, it's reasonable to assume they have majority support. And some support other terror groups and local clans.
Even worse than that. Under Oslo, yes that failed agreement is still active, governance of Gaza would fall to the Palestinian Authority. Last elections 2006. My guess most of the world would take the easy way out and turn Gaza over to them. Would take Hamas a couple years to amass enough strength to throw them out. It’s worth remembering Hamas rules Gaza by coup in 2007, not by election. The substantial support they got in the 2006 elections was for governance of the entire Palestinian Authority, not Gaza.
