43 Various committees were established by Palestinian Ikhwan from Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and other Gulf states to support the resolutions taken in Amman, and within a few years, a body, the Jihaz Falastin (Palestine Apparatus), was in operation. Meanwhile, Shaykh Yasin began buying arms, mainly from the Israeli black market, but was stung by Israeli collaborators. 44 The Israelis found about half of the weapons purchased; the others were hidden. 45 The entire incident bolstered those Ikhwan, particularly in the West Bank, who had maintained that armed jihad against Israel, as a local initiative, would fail, and that the correct path was to continue working toward an Islamic state.
It has frequently been predicted that Israel should (and could) reconquer the Gaza strip, a rather futile overturning of its “new strategy,” or, as suggested prior to HAMAS‟ electoral victory, engage the Palestinians in a war over the West Bank, or both. The “conflict-oriented” elements in Israel want it to engage in “preemptive deterrence” or attacks on other states in the region, perhaps Iran,30 Lebanon31 (because lack of preparation for the 2006 war was deemed the main issue), or Syria32 in the longer term.
HAMAS‟ relations vis-à-vis the more secular nationalist movement also represents a dynamic forged over time. The PLO was eventually composed of three “progressive” groups, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), and the Communist Party, along with the much larger organization, Fatah. Since all of Fatah‟s founders with the exception of Yasir Arafat had been members of the Ikhwan, Islamism was reflected in Fatah and appears in some of the discourse of the al-Aqsa Brigades which emerged from it.
