This chapter explores Hamas' ascent to power in the Gaza Strip following the disengagement, including their decision to enter elections and the implications of their victory. It also discusses the international community's response to Hamas' election win and the subsequent division of power between Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
Featuring Tareq Baconi on the history of Hamas. This is the context we need. And it is precisely what mainstream discourse mystifies, denies, and disavows.
