Hamas is designated as a "terrorist group" by Israel, the European Union, the US and the UK, while in the occupied Palestinian territories it is one of two major political parties.

The raising of the Palestinian flag at Gaza protests worldwide continues to attract criticism from pro-Israel supporters, accusing it of being a show of support for Hamas.
