Abstract

Although Middle East has many complicated problems the most important problem is absolutely the Palestine-Israel conflict. The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is directly or indirectly affecting other problems in the region. Hamas is one of the important actors in the region. As clearly stated in the HAMAS Pact published in August 1988, the ideological structure and organization of the organization is based on the Muslim Brotherhood established in Egypt. The emergence of the Palestinian Muslim Brotherhood as a separate party under the name of HAMAS came to the fore with the Intifada, which began in 1987. The organization which has ended the Al-Fatah dominance in Gaza is both having harsh criticism and praise both in world and Turkey. Like the other Middle East organizations HAMAS is a very well organized group. HAMAS has shifted to a more realistic line in time. In fact, the indirect support given by international actors to Israel's oppressive and violent policies has pushed Palestinians into violence. Also contrary to the common thought HAMAS is standing at a moderate and reasonable point at the moment compared to past.
