Facing the Middle East with Felice Friedson: ‘Gazans Are Not Hamas,’ Says Anti-Hamas Leader Seeking US Dialogue
From Gaza to Metula to Mea Shearim, the program explores resistance, resilience, and rare moments of coexistence across the region
By Felice Friedson/The Media Line
In this powerful edition of Facing the Middle East, Felice Friedson sits down with Moumen al-Natour, a Gazan activist and the leader of an emerging civil protest movement against Hamas. Al-Natour, who has lived in displacement camps since 2023, calls for a new path forward for Palestinians—one that separates civil society from the armed rule of Hamas. In a rare and emotionally charged interview, he appeals directly to US President Donald Trump, asking him to open a dialogue with ordinary Gazans who seek peace and justice, not war. Al-Natour offers a raw account of life under Hamas rule, the destruction of Gaza since October 7, and his belief that Gazans could play a vital role in freeing Israeli hostages.
