Hamastan () is a pejorative neologism, blending Hamas, a Palestinian political party with a military wing, and -stan, a suffix of Persian origin meaning "home of/place of". The term Hamastan generally relates to the Hamas administration of Gaza.
The term emerged during the days of Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip in 2005, and is suggestive of either Bantustans (the nominally self-governing black homelands created in apartheid-era South Africa; see Palestinian enclaves), or Hamas' religious policies (rhetorically likened to the Taliban's rule of Afghanistan) or, alternatively, political ties with Iran.
