PIJ is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood. They reject the Oslo Accords. Their goal is to help create an independent Islamic Palestinian state.[5] It supports the military destruction of Israel and rejects a two-state solution. They have been supported by Syria and Hezbollah.[6][7] Their power began to grow faster in 2014 as Iran's support grew.[8]
History and background
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) was officially founded in Gaza in 1981 by Fathi Shaqaqi, a doctor from Rafah, and Shaykh Abd al-Aziz Awda, a preacher from the Jabaliyya refugee camp, along with Ramadan Shalah, Bashir Moussa, and three other activists. Shaqaqi and Awda had been part of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt but broke away in 1979 to form the Islamic Jihad-Shaqaqi Faction, which operated from Egypt. After the assassination of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat in 1981 by a related group, they were expelled from Egypt and returned to Gaza, where they officially launched PIJ. PIJ's goal is to create an Islamic Palestinian state in the area that was Mandatory Palestine before 1948.[9][10][11][12]
