Hamas’ new charter was leaked Sunday evening and published by the Lebanese network Al Mayadeen. Toufic Haddad, the author of the book “Palestine Ltd: Neoliberalism and National Liberation in the Occupied Territory,” says the document illustrates the movement’s maturation as a major domestic political actor and responds to broader regional and international trends of sectarianism and the “war on terror” by repeatedly emphasizing Islam and Hamas’ tolerance, moderation and opposition to all forms of oppression, including making a clear distinction between Zionism and Judaism. Haddad writes that in the end, “Hamas’ conservative statist tendency is revealed, as the movement clearly strives to insert itself within the regional order, rather than being a part of fundamentally transforming it.”
