"Hamas is ISIS" was first asserted by Benjamin Netanyahu near the end of the 2014 Gaza War.[1] The comparison was criticized and mocked by some Israeli journalists.[2][1] Neyanyahu followed this by saying, “Hamas is ISIS and ISIS is Hamas”, in a 2014 speech at the United Nations.[3] In reference to this, the head of the Department of Political Science at Hebron University,[4] said it was "dangerous" to conflate Hamas and ISIS.[5]

Israeli Major General Yoav “Polly” Mordechai accused Gaza of helping ISIS by providing medical care to people wounded in the Sinai conflict.[6] Egypt accused Hamas of assisting ISIS in the Sinai, but in public the two groups had a violently hostile relationship.[7][8][9] Men from the Gaza Strip who joined ISIS during the Sinai insurgency were shunned by the community and disowned by their families.[10]

In the first days of the Israeli attack on the Gaza Strip in 2023, The Jerusalem Post quoted Benjamin Netanyahu saying, “They are savages. Hamas is ISIS”, the article then highlighted some alleged similarities in the groups' influences identified by Dr. Harel Chorev (from the Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Tel Aviv University).[11]

International military experts and mainstream international media pointed out major differences, particularly relating to nationalism, Shia Islam, Christianity, democracy, and destruction of cultural heritage.[12] ISIS want a purely theocratic system of government without any element of democracy, and ISIS violently attack Christians, whereas Hamas participated in the 2006 Palestinian legislative election and the Hamas-led electoral list that won the election included a Palestinian Christian running for the Christian reserved seat in Gaza City.[13][14] Talal Abu Zarifa, a leader from the DFLP (a secular faction allied to Hamas), said Israel was using the comparison to "justify its annihilation of Palestinian people and bloodshed".[15]
