Mohammad Ghazi al-Jalali, the prime minister under Assad, issued a video statement on social media saying he would work with any “leadership chosen by the people,” and he urged citizens to safeguard public institutions and not engage in attacks.

In November, a member of Hamas's political bureau, Ghazi Hamad, said: “We must teach Israel a lesson and we will do this again and again.”

Ghazi said the war isn’t just of global significance for many students but also of deeply personal importance for their families.

“They are very aware that the war is being funded by U.S. tax dollars, and that’s the same money that’s funding their schools,” Ghazi said.

For months they have been hoping to return to their homes in the north, but in an interview, Ghazi Hamad, a senior Hamas official, said Israel was refusing to allow Gazans to go back to the north en masse, and was insisting that they do so under “strict conditions and a few at a time.”
