Spotlight: How Can Israel Defeat Hamas?
|
The latest war between Israel and Hamas resembled the previous major rounds of fighting in 2008-09, 2012, and 2014: Hamas firing rockets at Israeli population centers day after day, Israel launching air strikes at Hamas' military infrastructure in Gaza, ending in a brokered ceasefire.
Since 2008 the Middle East Forum's staff, fellows, contributors, and guests have closely examined the question of how Israel can contain and deter, if not outright defeat, Hamas. See a selection of their analyses at right.

The Middle East Forum, a Philadelphia-based think tank, founded in 1994 by Daniel Pipes, promotes American interests in the Middle East and protects Western values from Middle Eastern threats.
In the Middle East, we focus on ways to defeat radical Islam; work for Palestinian acceptance of Israel; develop strategies to contain Iran; and deal with advancing anarchy. Domestically, the Forum emphasizes the danger of lawful Islamism; protects the freedoms of anti-Islamist authors and activists; and works to improve Middle East studies.
It achieves its goals in three main ways:
Operationally, exerting direct influence through its projects, each addressing a specific problem.
Intellectually, providing context, information, insights, and policy recommendations through the Middle East Quarterly, conference calls, staff and fellows writings, lectures, and media appearances — clearing a path to victory over opponents.
Philanthropically, distributing about $2 million annually in separately earmarked funds through our Education Fund, to about 75 groups and individuals working to promote the Forum's goals
