The book falls in two parts. The first is a collection of eleven peer-reviewed studies on Hamas and its experience; its inception and development; political vision; its stance towards Judaism, Jews, Zionism, Zionists and Israel; its position on the peace process, the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian factions; its vision for political and social reform; and its relations on the Arab, Muslim and international levels.

The second part of the book includes contributions by five senior Hamas leaders attempting to answer a miscellany of questions regarding different issues appertaining to the Movement. These include a study by Khalid Mish’al, head of Hamas Political Bureau, which is entitled “Hamas: Milestones in Thought and Experience.” A second study entitled “Hamas: A Reading in the Vision and Governance Experience” is contributed by Isma‘il Haniyyah, the Hamas deputy politburo chief and prime minister of Hamas’s caretaker government. It also includes a contribution by Musa Abu Marzuq, senior Hamas leader and former politburo chief titled Hamas Assessment of the Experience; and a contribution by Usamah Hamdan on Hamas International Relations. The section also includes a paper prepared by Sami Khater, Hamas politburo member, regarding Hamas’s Vision for Managing the Conflict with the “Zionist Enemy.”

The book includes an appendix of major documents related to Hamas and its experience since the issuance of its charter in 1987 until the memorandum of enforcement of the Palestinian reconciliation agreement between Fatah and Hamas (Al-Shati’ Agreement) in 2014 besides key political documents issued in the intervening period.

Al-Zaytouna Center offers the entire book for free download, and any of its chapters can also be downloaded.
