- Hamas is an Islamist militant group and political party based in the Palestinian territories, governing the Gaza Strip with over two million residents. Founded in 1987 by Palestinian cleric and activist Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, Hamas rose from its roots in the local Muslim Brotherhood. Its founding principles included the annihilation of Israel and establishment of an Islamic society across what's historically known as Palestine. Despite unveiling a more moderate persona in a 2017 document, the group still rejects Israel's existence. It is marked as a terrorist group by several countries due to tactics like suicide bombings and rocket attacks directed at Israel. The group receives material and monetary assistance from Iran and Turkey reportedly accommodates some of its top leaders. Tensions between Hamas and competitor party, Fatah, have undermined Gaza's potential for stability. Hamas is thus a multifaceted and contentious entity that holds a notable role in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

In 1987, after the outbreak of the First Intifada against Israel, Hamas was founded by Palestinian imam and activist Ahmed Yassin. It emerged out of his Mujama al-Islamiya, which had been established in Gaza in 1973 as an Islamic charity involved with the Egypt-based Muslim Brotherhood.[7] Hamas became increasingly involved in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict by the late 1990s;[8] it opposed the Israel–PLO Letters of Mutual Recognition as well as the Oslo Accords, which saw Fatah renounce "the use of terrorism and other acts of violence" and recognize Israel in pursuit of a two-state solution. Hamas continued to advocate Palestinian armed resistance, won the 2006 Palestinian legislative election,Template:Sfn gaining a majority in the Palestinian Legislative Council,[9] and took control of the Gaza Strip from Fatah following a civil war in 2007.Template:SfnTemplate:Sfn Since then, it has run Gaza as a de facto autocratic and one-party state.[10][11][12]

"The most successful radical Sunni Islamist group has been Hamas, which began as a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine in the early 1980s.
