The ongoing negotiations in Qatar arouse hope for even a temporary suspension of weapons, but the on -site situation still remains alarming. So far, none of the parties show a tendency to major concessions, which puts the success of the conversations in question.
The conflict between Israel and Hamas has a long history, the roots of which reach the creation of the State of Israel in 1948 and subsequent Israeli-Palestinian tensions. Hamas, which is considered a terrorist organization, was founded in 1987 as an Islamic faction of the Muslim Brotherhood. His goal is to create a Palestinian state on the territory of the current Israel.
The conflict intensified especially after 2007, when Hamas took control of the Gaza Strip. There have been many escalation since then.
