Critics (sources like New Arab, Crypto Briefing, and Benzinga) argue that a Gaza-specific stablecoin could further isolate the region from the West Bank (and the overall Palestinian economy). This could, in the long term, bypass the Palestinian Authority and deepen political division by making Gaza a separate economic entity. Increased US and Israeli control
The stablecoin would be governed by the Board of Peace (led by Trump) and Gaza's interim technocratic administration (NCAG). This means the Gaza economy would largely fall under US-Israeli control. Some commentators see it as a tool of "financial control" and "soft power"; the traceability of transactions could put the public's financial movements under greater surveillance. Practical and infrastructure problems
Gaza suffers from frequent power outages, slow 2G/3G networks, and limited smartphone access. High-speed internet and device infrastructure are needed for the stablecoin to become widespread (some plans for improvements by July 2026). Without these, the project may be ineffective or limited to specific segments (recipients, traders). Trust and acceptance issues
The project may create suspicion among the public as it is seen as a "control tool". Although evidence that Hamas has raised significant funds through crypto is weak, adoption of the stablecoin may face resistance. In addition, the risk of depeg (although rare) or regulatory uncertainties of the stablecoin carries additional risks.
