Salman Al-Dayah, former dean of the Faculty of Sharia and Law at the Islamic University of Gaza, has issued a statement criticizing the 7 October attack. Many are surprised by his delayed response and question the timing of his statement. Critics argue that his words could exacerbate divisions among Palestinians and further fragment the Gaza Strip. However, Al-Dayah's call to action is seen as important and worthy of attention and respect, despite its late arrival.
