1988年哈瑪斯憲章是哈瑪斯於1988年8月18日發布的一份綱領性文件。 [1]
哈瑪斯在憲章中表示自己是穆斯林兄弟會巴勒斯坦分支，而且哈瑪斯的成員都是敬畏真主的穆斯林，並且要對壓迫者發動聖戰。哈瑪斯在憲章中主張要在巴勒斯坦地區建立一個以耶路撒冷為首都、由伊斯蘭教法治理的國家，並且要消滅以色列。 [2][3][4][5]
自從哈瑪斯派人參加選舉以來，哈瑪斯一直在淡化該憲章。 [6] 2008年，哈瑪斯領導人伊斯梅爾·哈尼亞表示，哈瑪斯同意建立一個以綠線為國界的巴勒斯坦國，並願意與以色列保持和平，這一言論與憲章內容大相徑庭。 [7] 2010年，哈瑪斯領導人哈立德·馬沙爾表示，1988年憲章「已成為過去式，不再具有現實意義」。 [8]馬沙爾還表示，哈瑪斯將不再與穆斯林兄弟會合作。 [9]
Hroub, Khaled. A "New Hamas" through Its New Documents. Journal of Palestine Studies: 6. （原始內容存檔於2008-09-18）. Since Hamas won the Palestinian legislative elections in January 2006, its political positions as presented in the Western media hark back to its 1988 charter, with almost no reference to its considerable evolution under the impact of political developments. …From its establishment, Hamas had steadfastly refused to run in any national elections, either for PC or for the presidency of the Palestinian Authority (PA). As both these structures grew out of the Oslo accords, which Hamas opposed and considered illegitimate, it had never recognized the legitimacy of either. Thus, whereas the movement has long participated in municipal and other local elections, making its growing strength quantifiable, the question of whether to enter national electoral politics was a difficult decision, fraught with the contradictions that could be expected in a movement whose leadership is geographically divided between the 「inside」 and the 「outside,」 whose political and military wings have a degree of autonomy, and which adopts a democratic decision-making process with a diversity of views. … Despite the oft-repeated rhetoric of Hamas’s leaders that their movement will remain faithful to its known principles, the three documents reveal beyond question that the demands of the national arena have driven Hamas in dramatically new directions…Hamas continues to be characterized with reference to its 1988 charter, drawn up less than a year after the movement was established in direct response to the outbreak of the first intifada and when its raison d』être was armed resistance to the occupation. … Given Hamas’s traditional projection of itself as an uncompromising resistance movement, and the popularity it has derived from its resistance to the Israeli occupation, its choice of 「change and reform」 as the theme of its campaign and name of its electoral list…draws attention to the failure and corruption associated with its rival Fatah. … Without doubt, there are many who remain highly skeptical of Hamas’s new face, suspecting a ploy to gain power by concealing true agendas. … This leaves open the question of whether Hamas in power will be able to function practically within the parameters of the peace process as originally agreed to by Israel and the PLO at Oslo, which Hamas had vehemently opposed.
