Hamas may have failed to inflict major damage on Israel despite firing over 4,000 rockets during the 11-day war. However, the war has helped the militant organisation in becoming the main voice of the Palestinian people. Despite being designated as an Islamist terror organisation by many countries including the US, UK and the European Union, Hamas has ruled Gaza since 2007 and is increasingly being seen by some as voice of the Palestinian people, overtaking the popularity of President Mahmoud Abbas's Al-Fatah party, the largest faction in the multi-party Palestine Liberation Organization. Hamas may soon become the most influential party in Palestine and this would clearly cause problems for Israel as well as the world community.
