Just saying you might want to look closer into Hamas' election. It was a razor thin over Fatah and fewer than 50% of the vote. Then Hamas decided to not hold elections anymore for the past 17 years. Hamas is not popular at all anymore with 70% of gazans wanting the palastinian authority to take over the strip from hamas in a 2023 poll. Hamas saw the writing in the wall and decided to task Israel with creating a whole new generation of grieving and pissed off people which they are quickly doing.
I found a demographic breakdown of the population of Gaza by age and I think about 70% of people there are too young to have voted in the last election. And given the 50ish percent margin Hamas won by, is reasonable that only about max 15% of the current population actually voted for them. There's a lot of assumptions and hand waving there, but I don't imagine it's too far off.
