The Rafah crossing, located between the Gaza Strip and Egypt, was once hailed as a gateway to freedom for Palestinians. Following the signing of the Agreement on Movement and Access in November 2005, a monumental promise was made to the people of Gaza. For the first time since 1967, Palestinians were to gain control over entry and exit from their territory via an international crossing at Rafah—free from Israeli control.
Hamas, an acronym for Harakat al-Muqawamah al-Islamiyya (Islamic Resistance Movement), was founded in 1987 during the First Intifada. As a Palestinian Sunni-Islamist militant and political organization, it is recognized by some countries, including the U.S. and the EU, as a terrorist organization due to its armed resistance and attacks against Israel. However, it also functions as a political and social services provider, particularly in Gaza, where it has held power since winning the 2006 Palestinian Legislative Council elections.
