Islamic Jihad
In 1981, the Palestine Islamic Jihad was formed in 1981 from the Muslim Brotherhood based in Hebron, Judea (West Bank). Their purpose is the destruction of Israel and creation of an Islamic Palestine state. PIJ used suicide bombings and rocket attacks against Israel citizens and is considered a terrorist organization. Islamic Jihad is funded by Iran and Syria and works with Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Palestine Divided
For thirty-five years, Yasser Arafat kept the Palestinians united but after his death in 2004, the Palestinians splintered into factions. In 2005, Mahmoud Abbas of Fatah was elected president and in 2006, Fatah lost the majority in parliament to Hamas which created a Palestinian and international crisis. Since then, Hamas controls the parliament and Gaza while Fatah controls the presidency, the Palestinian National Authority, Judea and Samaria. Elections for president and parliament were cancelled. Even before 2006, Israel requires peace to negotiate with the Palestinians. On October 12, 2017, Fatah and Hamas signed a reconciliation agreement.
When the Palestinian Authority negotiates peace and Hamas or Islamic Jihad disagrees, terrorist attacks in Israel stops peace negotiations. However, there will be a covenant between Israel and Palestine that starts the seven years of Tribulation.
