After the start of the "Aqsa deluge", the Israelis' cries for the destruction of Hamas increased, and the major Western countries joined them. Their goal was to end the rule of Hamas in the Gaza Strip and to remove its influence in the decision-making of the Palestinian Authority. These actions began with campaigns to portray Hamas as a terrorist organization in front of the people of the world, as well as to present it as the only legitimate obstacle to peace and tranquility in the Middle East, as a threat to the foreign relations and security of Arab countries. So, in their opinion, HAMAS is the cause of all the problems, the destruction of HAMAS is the only way to peace in the region.
