After the establishment of Israel in 1948, the Palestinian nation faced a difficult situation. Displaced, their homes taken, many became refugees. This led to a division among Palestinians. Some chose the diplomatic path and negotiations. In effect, in 1964, the peaceful faction coalesced into the Palestine Liberation Organization PLO. Over time, the PLO engaged in negotiations with Israel and recognized its right to exist. This led to the Oslo Accords in 1990, offering hope for peace, but unfortunately, the expected effects did not materialize. The second faction of Palestinians witnessing the limited success of diplomatic efforts to reestablish a Palestinian state took a different route. In 1987, under the leadership of Sheikh Ahmed Yasin, they formed Hamas. This organization aimed to resist Israel and fight for Palestinian independence in a more forceful manner due to its military-oriented approach and active resistance against Israeli occupation. Hamas is labeled terrorist by Israel and allies like US.
