Lore:

* Hamas isn’t founded in an alternate 1980s, leading to Fatah remaining in power significantly longer than in the OTL.

The **Jewish State of Gaza and the Sinai** (Hebrew: **מדינת היהודים של עזה וסיני,** Romanized: Medinat Heihudim Shel Aza Vesini), also known as JSGS, or MHSAV (Acronym of its Hebrew name), or simply the **Jewish State**, is a militant organization and internationally unrecognised[ quasi-state](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasi-state) in the Middle East.  They are currently headquartered in South Sinai.

Although they emerged in 1987, the JSGS remained largely an insurgency until around around the 2010s. 

Starting in the 2010s, a mysterious benefactor began supplying the JSGS with advanced and powerful weapons, as well as official standardized uniforms,[ bomb drones](https://callofduty.fandom.com/wiki/Bomb_Drone),[ night vision goggles](https://callofduty.fandom.com/wiki/Night_Vision_Goggles), armored vehicles, superior weapons, and body armor, ultimately transforming them into an actual army.

Their highly advanced arsenal would be seen for the first time in 2014, during which they launched a coup against Fatah, the main governing body in the region of Palestine. After seizing control of Gaza, JSGS proclaimed itself a kingdom with its leader, Samson Chomsky, appointing himself as its king.

The main ideology of JSGS is a fusion of Ultra-Orthodox Judaism, that of the Jewish Zealots, and the Christian doctrines of Theonomy and Dominion Theology; they adhere to a strict interpretation of Jewish law (Torah), a commitment to national sovereignty, and a conviction that God was the only rightful ruler of Israel. Their Eschatology is a fusion of Orthodox Judaism and the Christian Eschatological views of Post-Millennialism and the related doctrine of Theonomy;  they believe that the Jewish Messiah is still to come, but it is the duty of the Jewish people to establish that Messiah’s Kingdom before he can come. 

Conversely, they believe that the Messiah will not come to usher in the Messianic Age until the Jewish people establish the Messiah’s Kingdom on Earth via the subjugation of the entirety of Israel and the Sinai under Yahweh’s Law.

The Jewish State of Gaza and the Sinai is not formally recognized internationally as a state and is currently designated as a terrorist organization by the State of Israel and various NATO countries.
