GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — After 30-plus years in existence, Hamas is sizing itself up and examining its performance. The Palestinian movement has solicited lots of opinions and advice, but it remains to be seen if it has any realistic hope of implementing its conclusions. 

The group held a conference Sept. 18 titled "Hamas: 30 Years on, Reality and Hopes.” About 1,200 movement leaders and cadres, as well as thinkers and researchers, participated in the conference to assess the movement in all areas. They laid out a vision aimed at improving Hamas’ performance.
