The Palestine Center

This lecture examines the viability of the current Palestinian leadership and the legitimacy of the Palestinian Authority, with special attention to the Fateh-Hamas political schism and the significance surrounding the planned elections.

This is the final installment of our annual lecture series, a study of the extent to which Palestinian leadership represents Palestinian interests, and how their national objectives are at all manifest.
