Hamas emerged in large part because the conflict looked to be headed towards resolution in the late 80s and early 90s. They were founded to ensure that the conflict wouldn’t resolve in a two state solution that recognized Israel as a permanent reality.
Hamas doesn’t draw its strength from the frustrated Palestinians who want a two state solution, but from Palestinians who want no Israel and are frustrated that Israel’s existence only gets more and more entrenched.
