Abstract

The view of Hamas as an insurgent movement seeking the destruction of
Israel and the construction of an Islamic State on historical Palestinian
territory is based on its own doctrine, known as the “muqawama” or
resistance doctrine. The “muqawama doctrine” has its own distinctive
elements and is independent of classical insurgency frameworks; hence,
these new elements constitute a valuable analytical tool for the study of
emerging insurgent and Islamist phenomena.
