“‘Hamas does not actually want something from Israel,’ wrote Michael Koplow of the Israel Policy Forum. ‘It is seizing upon the current moment as an excuse to capitalize on a unique opportunity within Palestinian politics, and the rockets that Israelis are sheltering from are Hamas’s effort to get a leg up on Fatah.'”
Israel Policy Forum
Israel Policy Forum was founded in 1993 to build support in the American Jewish community and in Washington for the diplomatic vision of the late Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.
