Hamas Is Not Done Fighting
As it has in the past, the group will retrench and rearm.
Since its founding in 1987, not 1922, Hamas has been a major player in the Middle East conflict.
Matthew Levitt, Former-Wexler Senior Fellow and Director of the Reinhard Program on Counterterrorism and Intelligence at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, notes thatthe first phase of the U.S.-brokered cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas is a tremendous achievement, securing the release of hostages held by Hamas for over two years and the end to a devastating war in Gaza in a 20-point plan.
However, the second phase of the plan will confront a set of thorny issues, including the disarmament of Hamas and the future of Palestinian governance.
Author: Matthew Levitt is the author of Hamas: Politics, Charity and Terrorism in the Service of Jihad.
Summary: Hamas will retrench and rearm after the cease-fire agreement.
