Hamas

Critics of Hamas are few and far between. Those who stick their neck out risk a brutal beating or worse. As Gazans become desperate, is the tide turning?

In the discussions between American, Arab, and Israeli envoys, a path towards a Palestinian future is beginning to emerge. Here, Al Majalla shares insights from that under-the-radar process.

The revised Gaza agreement, presented by Hamas and seen by Al Majalla, stipulates "lifting the siege" and insists on Israel's withdrawal, a permanent ceasefire, UNRWA role and reconstruction

The Gaza Agreement draft, unveiled by President Joe Biden on 31 May and obtained in full by Al Majalla, incorporates Israeli amendments to the original draft accepted by Hamas

Al Majalla obtains the full text of the latest Gaza ceasefire proposal and lays out the Arab vision for Gaza's 'day after'

When the PLO leader was forced out of Beirut in the 1980s, he did so with pride, purpose, and sorrow. After signals that Hamas leaders may be exiled from Gaza, could history be a guide?

Since 7 October, Gaza's rulers have gone from trumpeting its Al-Aqsa Flood attack to untrumpeted offers to lay down its weapons and become a political group only. It is a dramatic change of stance.

The answer is a resounding no. But an achievable objective is to turn it into a marginal irritant instead of a major threat.

The Israeli 'targeted killings' policy is controversial. Human rights activists see it as an 'extrajudicial execution', but Israel regards it as a legitimate act of self-defence

For decades, Israel has been trying to defeat Hamas without success. After seven brutal months of war, it still exists. There is reason to think it always will.
