5-13-24: What is Hamas?

What is Hamas? Did Netanyahu support and fund Hamas? Why did the US support the 2006 election that put Hamas in power? Is it fair to say that Hamas is a terrorist organization? Is a two state solution even possible? What is the impact of Egypt joining the South African genocide case? Why has the casualty count in Gaza stopped at 34,000? Are tensions building between Israel and the USA? What is happening in Rafah? Any updates in Ukraine?
