Abstract

The study looks at the effects of global terrorism on international security in the 21st century, specifically Hamas activities in Israel from 2013-2015. The research examines the impact of Hamas' activities in the region—such as rocket fire, tunnel digging, suicide bombings and other violent incidents—on security in Israel and on international peace and stability. The study further analyzes the responses of the Israeli government and the international community towards the conflict and the implications of such responses on global security. The study used the Political Violence Theory which was proposed by Ted Robert Gurr in the book, "Why Men Rebel (1970)" to explain the nature of the conflict and the motivation behind violent acts undertaken by Hamas. A descriptive research design was employed and secondary sources including textbooks, journal articles, official reports, newspaper, and Internet materials were used for data collection. This study showed that the activities of Hamas in the time frame examined sharply exacerbated the situation in the Middle East, killed human lives, caused loss of property, displaced civilians and raised the awareness of terrorism and international security throughout the world. The study also revealed that the conflict had a negative impact on diplomatic relations, economic activities and humanitarian conditions in the region. In addition, it found that international organizations and the world's major powers failed to fully address the conflict and that this factor played a role in perpetuating the violence and instability. The study thus suggests better regional and international collaboration in the fight against terrorism, greater efforts in peaceful conflict resolution techniques, enhanced intelligence sharing among nations and better humanitarian assistance to those civilians affected by the conflict. The study concludes that global terrorism remains a major threat to international security in the 21st century and requires collective efforts from governments and international organizations to ensure global peace and stability.
