| Summary/Abstract |
The article examines the key development in Palestinian politics in the post-Arafat era, including the decision of Hamas to participate in the democractic political process. Even though the issue of succession was settled with much more ease then expected, the divisions within the Palestinian movement came to the fore with the electoral victory of Hamas in the January 2006 legislative elections.The subsequent power struggle between fatah and Hamas completely fragmented the palestinian community.
