- Title
The Prospects for Statehood and Unity in Palestine.
- Authors
Baracskay, Daniel
- Abstract
The article assesses the prospects for statehood and unity in Palestine amid the conflict with Israel. It explores several properties that are crucial for the liberation of Palestine, including territoriality and sovereignty, the monopoly of power and formal institutions of government, the strength and legitimacy as an actor in international politics, and the capability to respond to internal and external pressures as an adaptive entity. The implications of the reconciliation pact signed by Hamas and Fatah in 2011 for the prospects are discussed, as well as the proposal for Palestinian statehood submitted to the United Nations (UN) by Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas.
