The new political program of Hamas, published Monday, is meant to help the Islamic militant group break out of its international isolation. In the past, Hamas criticized its main rival, the Fatah party of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, for pursuing a two-state deal with Israel. Even now, Hamas considers such a state as an interim step, not a way to end the conflict. While the founding charter was filled with anti-Jewish references, the new document stresses that Hamas bears no enmity toward Jews. 1 spot are Moussa Abu Marzouk, a former Hamas leader, and Ismail Haniyeh, a former top Hamas official in Gaza.
