Analyzing the Role of HAMAS in the Middle East Conflict

Pontianak In the midst of the complex and ongoing Middle East conflict, one key player that has emerged is the Islamic Resistance Movement, better known as HAMAS (Furlan, 2019).HAMAS has become a significant force in the region, particularly in the Palestinian territories.Their involvement in this conflict has raised questions about their objectives, tactics, and impact.Since its establishment in 1987, HAMAS has played a significant role in the Middle East conflict, particularly in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

HAMAS is a Palestinian Sunni-Islamic fundamentalist, nationalist, and resistance organization.Their primary goal is to establish an independent Islamic state in historical Palestine, which includes modern-day Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip.They have employed a range of strategies to achieve this, including armed resistance, political participation, and social welfare programs.

 One of the key aspects of HAMAS' involvement in the conflict is their use of violence, including suicide bombings and other attacks against Israeli civilians and military targets.HAMAS has justified these actions as a legitimate form of resistance against the Israeli occupation and the violation of Palestinian rights.However, their tactics have been widely condemned by the international community as acts of terrorism.


At the same time, HAMAS has also participated in the political process, winning a majority in the 2006 Palestinian legislative elections.This has led to a complex relationship between HAMAS and the Palestinian Authority, as well as with the international community, which has been hesitant to engage with a group designated as a terrorist organization by many countries.

HAMAS' role in the Middle East conflict is a complex and multifaceted one. While their use of violence has been widely condemned, they have also played a significant role in the political and social welfare of the Palestinian people. Understanding HAMAS' motivations, tactics, and impact is crucial to addressing the ongoing conflict in the region.(Lecocq, 2020)(Hannase, 2020)
