Hamasliike
Hamasliike is a term that can refer to a few different concepts, primarily related to the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas. When used in a general context, it most commonly refers to the Hamas movement itself, which is a Palestinian Sunni-Islamist fundamentalist organization. Hamas was founded in 1987, during the First Intifada, and its stated goals have included the liberation of Palestine and the establishment of an Islamic state. The movement has a political wing and a military wing, known as the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades. Hamas has been designated as a terrorist organization by several countries, including the United States, the European Union, and Israel, due to its involvement in attacks against Israeli civilians.
The movement controls the Gaza Strip following its victory in the 2006 Palestinian legislative elections and
