About our Hamas news

Latest news on Hamas, providing comprehensive coverage of the Palestinian militant group, its leadership, military operations, governance in Gaza, and role in the ongoing conflict with Israel.

Hamas, an acronym for Harakat al-Muqawamah al-Islamiya (Islamic Resistance Movement), is a Palestinian Sunni-Islamic fundamentalist organization. Founded in 1987, it has been the de facto governing authority of the Gaza Strip since 2007. Hamas is designated as a terrorist organization by several countries, including the United States, the European Union, and Israel. The group is known for its armed resistance against Israel and its provision of social services to Palestinians in Gaza.

Recent developments include Hamas's role in the ongoing Israel-Hamas war that began on 7 October 2023 with a surprise attack on Israel. The conflict has resulted in thousands of casualties on both sides and a severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Hamas continues to engage in fighting with Israeli forces and maintains control over parts of the Gaza Strip. The group's military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, has been central to its operations against Israel.

Hamas's political leadership has undergone changes, with Yahya Sinwar currently serving as its leader in Gaza. The group faces challenges in governing amid the ongoing conflict and blockade. Hamas has been involved in ceasefire negotiations mediated by Egypt and Qatar, though progress has been limited. The organization's stance towards Israel and its vision for a Palestinian state remain key points of contention in any potential resolution to the conflict.

Historically, Hamas emerged from the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood during the First Intifada. Its original 1988 charter called for the destruction of Israel, but a 2017 political document showed some moderation in its stance, including accepting the idea of a Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders. However, Hamas still does not recognise Israel's right to exist.

Staying informed about Hamas is crucial for understanding the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and broader Middle East dynamics. Our NewsNow feed provides comprehensive, up-to-date coverage from reliable sources, offering insights into Hamas's activities, its impact on regional politics, and international responses to the ongoing crisis in Gaza.
