    • 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.

"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. It used terrorist attacks against civilians - particularly suicide bombings – to help build a larger movement, going so far as to emerge as the recognized government of the Gaza Strip in the Palestine Authority."
