Both sides recall the \u003ci\u003eNakba\u003c\/i\u003e (catastrophe), the term for the defeat in the 1948 war and the subsequent Palestinian exodus. They also both emphasize issues such as the victimization of refugees, widows, and orphans; the sanctity of Jerusalem and Palestine; the contributions of \u003ci\u003eshuhadaa\u003c\/i\u003e (martyrs) to the national struggle still in progress; and the suffering of the prisoners in Israeli jails. Despite this joint confrontation with the same opponent-Israel-Fatah leaders (the organization whose people are the foundation of the Palestinian Authority) and Hamas have failed to find a path to reconciliation. Examining the Palestinian internal question from an original angle, \u003ci\u003eThe Fatah-Hamas Rift\u003c\/i\u003e analyzes the many rounds of negotiations and seeks to explain this failure, with a focus on the decade after 2007.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51039779258711,"sku":"9781438487045","price":22.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781438487045.jpg?v=1750944812","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-fatahhamas-rift-9781438487045","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
