Leaders ofÌýPalestinian political party Hamas, which governs the Gaza Strip,Ìýreleased a document outlining their guiding principles at a press conference in the Qatari capital Doha on May 1.

The document also includes pronouncements on how Hamas views the roots of the conflict, the role of Palestinian resistance and its position towards Jewish people.

The event was organised by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), and several Palestinian officials attended, including Sami Abu Zuhri from Hamas.
