Description

Hamas Contained: A History of Palestinian Resistance This book offers a comprehensive history of Hamas, from its origins as a fringe military resistance group to its current role as the governing force in Gaza. Drawing on interviews with organization leaders and their publications, Tareq Baconi maps Hamas's thirty-year transition towards governance, highlighting the complex dynamics between the group and Israel. Baconi argues that Israel's approach to managing the conflict has effectively marginalized Hamas's demand for Palestinian sovereignty, instead fueling military action against the group and, by implication, all Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. This violent equilibrium, which lasted for sixteen years, was recently disrupted by Hamas's offensive on October 7, 2023, and the ensuing war on Gaza. With new material that provides an analytical framework and reflection on this recent conflict, Hamas Contained provides an essential guide to understanding Hamas and the brutal violence of Israel's war on Palestinians.
