The Palestinian division dilemma

A narrow, self-inflicted pathological condition prevails among the Palestinian people inside Palestine, in both parts of their homeland in the 1948 areas, as well as in the 1967 areas.
A pathological condition, almost incurable, when we examine the size, comfort and number of initiatives that were presented and did not succeed, did not succeed, did not achieve their purposes and goals, whether in ending the division between the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, and the necessity of ending the state of monopoly prevailing among both the Fatah and Hamas movements, Fatah in the institutions of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Authority in Ramallah, and Hamas’ monopoly in managing the Gaza Strip.
The colony’s steps, programs, plans, tools and actions are open on all fronts, and the central goal it seeks to achieve is:
1- Maintaining the strength of the colony, its expansion and the expansion of its influence over the entire map of Palestine first, especially in Jerusalem and the Palestinian West Bank, and what is available to it outside the borders of Palestine in Syria and Lebanon, exploiting the factors of weakness among others, and the factors of strength and superiority available to it in America.
2- Reducing the human presence of the Palestinian people inside Palestine: 1- The Gaza Strip by killing and destruction and making the Strip unfit for life and livelihood, and pushing towards voluntary departure 2- From Jerusalem by oppression, exorbitant taxes, and deportation, 3- In the West Bank, especially in the camps of Jenin, Tulkarm, and Nablus, to end the character of the camp, and the refugee element, to eliminate the refugee issue and the right of return, with the elimination of UNRWA and its impoverishment, while reducing its role and function, towards the camps and refugees, and later as it did in the Strip, it will do in the West Bank.
The battle of October 7, 2023, its repercussions, and the Palestinian and Israeli factors it produced, made the battle of confrontation for the colony a battle of existence on the land of Palestine between the Palestinian and Israeli peoples, especially since the demographic presence of the two parties has become equal, about 7 million people for each of them, and between the two projects: the Palestinian national democratic project in the face of the Israeli expansionist colonial project.
The repercussions of the successive battle that continues in its fourth stage for the Palestinian people through the path of the Palestinian national movement, after October 7, have become a necessity for the unity of the tools of the Palestinian struggle, between the various factions, parties and civil society institutions, to unite in confronting the superior enemy, which has lost all taboos in its dealings with the Palestinian people, in light of the existence of an extremist, fascist, racist, occupying, and substitutionary right-wing government.
The national coalition unity between the components and forces of Palestinian action is considered the most important tool for confrontation against the single national, religious, and humanitarian enemy: the Israeli colony.
Netanyahu's policy and that of his extremist coalition team are against Hamas as they are against Fatah, against Hamas's authority in the Gaza Strip, and against Fatah's authority in the West Bank. The colony's policies, positions, and aggressive liquidationist approach are open and unequivocal. So why the hesitation?! Why the deliberation?! Why did all the friendly Palestinian, Arab, and international initiatives that sought to end the division fail?
