From #119:
The group emerged in 1987 as an alternative to the secular-nationalist Palestinian Fatah, which had dominated the Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO). Fatah's recognition of Israel, perceived corruption and the failure of their diplomatic approach[1] to secure an independent Palestinian state or cease Israeli settlements and military occupation in the West Bank and Gaza contributed to increasing popular support for Hamas, who in 2006 won legislative elections.

The Hamas origin story is the same origin story as Likud! (from wikipedia)
Formation and leadership of Begin
The Likud was formed on 13 September 1973 as a secular party[34][35] by an alliance of several right-wing parties prior to that year's legislative election"Herut, the Liberal Party, the Free Centre, the National List, and the Movement for Greater Israel. Herut had been the nation's largest right-wing party since growing out of the Irgun in 1948. It had already been in coalition with the Liberals since 1965 as Gahal, with Herut as the senior partner. Herut remained the senior partner in the new grouping, which was given the name Likud, meaning "Consolidation", as it represented the consolidation of the Israeli right.[36] It worked as a coalition under Herut's leadership until 1988, when the member parties merged into a single party under the Likud name.[37] From its establishment in 1973, Likud enjoyed great support from blue-collar Sephardim.[38]

Herut and Movement for Greater Israel are expansionist Zionist parties.
They want the same thing Hamas wants.
Technically, they want more, because they want Israel to control both sides of the River Jordan; the restoration of Eretz Yisrael or Greater Israel.
