How Foreign Activities of Hamas Strengthen Its Capacity Against Israel
Original language description
This chapter investigates the critical role of foreign diplomatic and financial supportin Hamas’s operational and political strengthening from 2006 to October 7, 2023. Utilizing theconcept of antodiplomacy, developed by Plundrich, the research examines how non-state actorslike Hamas engage in foreign policy activities similar to states. Through a qualitative quasi-metaanalysis of ten diverse sources, this study identifies Iran and Qatar as primary supporters ofHamas. The analysis reveals that Iran’s extensive financial aid, military training, and provision ofadvanced weaponry have been pivotal in enhancing Hamas’s military capabilities and enablingits asymmetric warfare against Israel. Additionally, Qatar’s substantial economic assistance,infrastructure development, and diplomatic efforts have bolstered Hamas’s governance in Gazaand its international legitimacy. This study addresses two key research questions: how diplomaticties and foreign activities have supported Hamas’s governance and modus operandi, and howthese activities have facilitated its conflict with Israel. The findings underscore the importanceof understanding the complex diplomatic and financial networks that empower non-state actors,highlighting the significant impact of antodiplomacy on global security dynamics.
