At the center of this policy is an uncompromising struggle against Islamist terrorism (even if Trump avoided using the phrase &#8220;radical Islamic terrorism&#8221;, as he had done so extensively throughout his campaign). Trump demanded from his audience to &#8220;drive out the terrorists and extremists&#8221; from their communities and places of worship and to &#8220;take on the burden&#8221; of fighting terrorism as part of a joint effort with the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trump lumped together &#8220;ISIS, al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, and so many others [terrorist organizations]&#8221;, which seemed to fit the agenda of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, who was present in the audience and complimented Trump before he delivered his speech.

The Twitter account of al-Aqsa TV Channel, which is affiliated with Hamas, quickly responded to Trump&#8217;s speech by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AqsaTVChannel\/status\/866427154309009409?s=03\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">posting a photo<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of Palestinian activists carrying the movement&#8217;s flags with the hashtag &#8220;Hamas isn&#8217;t a terrorist [organization]&#8221; (#\u062d\u0645\u0627\u0633_\u0645\u0634_\u0627\u0631\u0647\u0627\u0628) at the center. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hamas&#8217; use of this hashtag isn&#8217;t new, and fits the movement&#8217;s self-definition as a &#8220;resistance&#8221; (<\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">muqawama<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) organization to Israel, which is perceived by it as a legitimate right in its struggle against the Israeli occupation, and not as a terrorist organization. Hamas&#8217; official Twitter account in English also twitted <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HamasInfoEn\/status\/866321342215401473\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a message which stated<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that &#8220;Trump&#8217;s designation of Hamas as a terrorist organization is biased and comprises with the Israeli Occupation&#8217;s policies&#8221;, and its English-language Website issued <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/hamas.ps\/en\/post\/743\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a press release<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> which described Trump&#8217;s message as &#8220;a hostile message aiming to split the Islamic nation.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the last few months, Hamas has been trying to present to the world a moderate and pragmatic image, in order to ease the regional pressures in which the movement has found itself and improve its political standing in Palestinian public opinion. Earlier this month, the movement <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/hamas.ps\/en\/post\/678\/a-document-of-general-principles-and-policies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">published<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> its new Document of General Principles and Policies, which agrees to recognize &#8220;a Palestinian state, with Jerusalem as its capital along the lines of the 4th of June 1967&#8221; and distinguishes between &#8220;Zionists&#8221; and &#8220;Jews&#8221; in its armed struggle against Israel, in an attempt to distance the movement from the anti-Semitic motifs which characterized its Charter in 1988.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fawzi Barhoum, a Hamas spokesman in Gaza, recently <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/2017\/05\/01\/in-bid-to-end-isolation-hamas-tries-out-a-friendlier-face-latest-israel-palestine-news\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">claimed that<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cthe document gives us a chance to connect with the outside world. To the world, our message is: Hamas is not radical. We are a pragmatic and civilized movement.&#8221; Despite this rationale behind Hamas&#8217; new document, Trump&#8217;s speech in Riyadh, which lumps together ISIS and Hamas as part of the same &#8220;foot soldiers of evil&#8221; and enemies of &#8220;decent people of all religions who seek to protect life&#8221;, doesn&#8217;t acknowledge Hamas&#8217; declared pragmatism and the more moderate image which the movement has adopted. Trump&#8217;s speech before dozens of religious and political leaders from Arab and Muslim nations is therefore a strong rejection by the international community of Hamas&#8217; attempts to win international legitimacy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if states such as Qatar (where the former head of Hamas&#8217; political bureau, Khaled Mashal, resides) support Hamas and allow it political maneuvering space, Hamas&#8217; mission will be more difficult from now on. Furthermore, despite the fact that Hamas&#8217; terrorist designation by the Trump Administration is extremely convenient for Israel in its battle for global public opinion, this label could hamper <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.haaretz.com\/israel-news\/1.791340\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">future efforts by Trump<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to advance an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hamas&#8217; pragmatism indicates an increasing willingness of the movement to work with the international community, and thus gives the West additional incentives in its dealings with Hamas. Furthermore, presenting Hamas as part of the same radical milieu of ISIS and al-Qaeda could damage the pragmatic current in the movement and encourage the more militant current within it to renew the violence against Israel from the Gaza Strip.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Translator: Michelle Bubis<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier this week, President Trump delivered a speech in front of dozens of leaders from Arab and Muslim nations in Riyadh.
