About HAMAS

Formation: It was founded in 1987 during the First Intifada (Palestinian uprising) as an offshoot of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. It emerged as a response to Israeli occupation in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Ideology: The group aims to establish an Islamic state in Palestine and rejects any compromise on Palestinian land.
Political and Military Wing: Hamas operates both as a political party and a militant organisation.
Control of Gaza: Following violent clashes with Fatah in 2007, Hamas took control of the Gaza Strip, leading to a geographic and political split between Gaza (controlled by Hamas) and the West Bank (controlled by Fatah).
Recently China has brokered a peace deal between HAMAS & FATAH.
Designation as Terrorist Organization: Several countries, including the United States and Israel, classify Hamas as a terrorist organisation.
