Abstract

The dilemma of establishing clear identity and goals became a more urgent matter for Hamas ever since it obtained power and played a new role in Palestinian policy after 2006. It faced a shaky working environment and circumstances. The Charter was oftentimes a source of judging Hamas and criticizing its affiliation and overall objectives. Some of these critics questioned the belonging of Hamas to the National Palestinian Struggle, and accused the movement of belonging to trans-boundary projects, besides drawing an anti-Semitic image of Hamas. This chapter highlights on how Hamas reproduced its image, identity, and goals in the new Political Document of 2017, considering the evolution of Hamas' role since 2006.
