Abstract
This research study discusses the discrepancy between theory and practice
in the experience of Hamas Movement between the years 1987‐2011, with
reference to its success in the legislative elections in January 2006, and its
leadership of the Palestinian authority through forming the tenth
government, and later its military control on Gaza Strip in June 2007.
This study aims at highlighting the pragmatic policy of Hamas and its way of
administrating the authority in the Gaza Strip, focusing on the discrepancy
of Hamas's practical policy and its theoretical beliefs, mentioned both in
the Hamas's constitution and the perspectives of its leaders declared in
media (Ahmad Yasin, Abdel Aziz Rantisi, Mahmoud Zahhar, Ismael
Hannieh).
The obstacle to this study was the ability to objectively follow the
developments on the ground before and after the success of Hamas in the
legislative elections in 2006. Also the study follow the events of the conflict
between Hamas and Fateh which included military clashes, finalized by the
control of Hamas in the Gaza Strip in 2007, in addition to the later events
until the end of 2011. The study has also covered the roots of the Muslim
Brotherhood in Palestine from the from the forties until the establishment
of Hamas in 1987.
The researcher has used the historical method through browsing the
historical stations of the Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine and the
establishment of Hamas from the womb of the Brotherhood in 1987.
The researcher has most importantly concluded that Hamas has been an
Islamic movement resisting the Israeli occupation, and has exerted
distinguished efforts of struggle in this course. He concludes also that
Hamas wanted to invest those efforts to advent the Palestinian political
system, appeared first in participating in the elections of municipalities and
village councils and later in the legislative elections in 2006.
After Hamas had come to power and had formed the tenth government,
the disputes started to float on the surface especially with Fateh, which
resulted in the armed clashes and therefore trespassing the redlines killing
and injuring many Palestinians especially in Gaza Strip. The result of this
conflict was the control of Hamas on Gaza Strip in June 2007. This issue
among others are discussed in the study which show discrepancy between
theory and practice in the experience of Hamas Movement.
The researcher recommends achieving a national agreement among all
Palestinian parties to avoid the internal fighting, and accepting the results
of the local, legislative and presidential elections. Also they should accept
the political plurality and freedom of opinion, respect human rights, put the
national interests on top of the partisan interests, restructure the
institutions of PLO on democratic basis. All national and Islamic parties
should join PLO to stay the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian
people. Finally, a Palestinian government should be formed to include all
Palestinian parties and focusing on fighting corruption, filling the gaps and
solving all problems.
