ABSTRACT

The conflict between Hamas and Fatah was responsible for diluting the Palestinian question because the two organizations have many ideological differences. Since the Oslo Accords in 1993, Hamas has criticized the Fatah-led PLO policy regarding the Jewish state. Fatah recognized Israel during the Oslo Accords, while Hamas wanted to destroy the Jewish state. In 2006, Hamas won the election and Fatah lost power due to its credibility among the Palestinians. As a result, Palestine split into two parts after the civil war in 2007, with Gaza ruled by Hamas and the West Bank by Fatah. If Hamas and Fatah want to end the internal division of Palestine, then they have to unite; otherwise, there is no future for either the Palestinian people or the Palestinian Question.
