Palestinians Between Terrorism and Statehood

Overview

Palestinians Between Terrorism & Statehood provides an account of the Israel-Palestine peace process, dealing in particular with the factors on the Palestinian side vital to an understanding of the dynamics of the process, including developments in the Israeli-occupied territories, and the internal struggles within the PLO and between the PLO and its adversaries. The book details the Abu Iyad and Abu Jihad streams within the PLO, sheds new light on the Intifada, seeks the roots of the Hamas and the Islamic Jihad movements, and identifies what they hope to achieve in the future. It also features previously unpublished material concerning the internal developments in the PLO that were to transform it from an anti-American military organization into a pro-American political-diplomatic organization.
