ARTICLES RELATED TO Hamas - Overview | | | |  Hamas - Overview: Encyclopedia II - Hamas - OverviewFounded in 1987, Hamas won a majority over the ruling Fatah party during the January 2006 Palestinian legislative election.

| | | | Hamas - Overview: Encyclopedia II - Hamas - Beliefs Hamas regards the territory of the present-day State of Israel — as well as the Gaza Strip and the West Bank — as an inalienable Islamic waqf or religious bequest, which can never be surrendered to non-Muslims. It asserts that struggle (jihad) to wrest control of the land from Israel is the religious duty of every Muslim (fard `ain). This position is more radical than that now held by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), which in 1988 recognized Israel's sovereignty. Hamas does not recognize Israel as a sovereign st ...
