PIJ was inspired by the Muslim Brotherhood. They reject the Oslo Accords. Their goal is to help create an independent Islamic Palestinian state.[5] It supports the military destruction of Israel and rejects a two-state solution. They have been supported by Syria and Hezbollah.[6][7] Their power began to grow faster in 2014 as support from Iran grew.[8]
