A document that hasn't been published yet is causing widespread speculation among Palestinians about Hamas' plans for the future. Since late August, Palestinian and Arab media have been talking about a new political document that Hamas will be issuing "soon."

Al-Khaleej Online said Sept. 14 that at the end of the year, Hamas will issue a document that will reflect a shift in its ideology. Al-Khaleej added that Hamas leaders and a group of Palestinian and Arab intellectuals contributed to the draft, which still must be submitted to its political bureau for approval.
