“…Qatar and Turkey, Hamas's new allies, have supported Hamas diplomatically and financially to overcome economic hardships (Lindenstrauss and Kivam, 2014;Stephens, 2012). However, they have not compensated for the shortfall of paramilitary training and the (alleged) arming of the neoconservative-resistance camp (Ezbidi, 2013). Moreover, neither ally could compensate for the geostrategic weight of Egypt's neighboring of Gaza and Israel.…”

Bu makale iki ana soruya değinmektedir. Birincisi, 2010 yılından itibaren bölgesel dinamikler ve iç tercihler, Filistin uzlaşısını ve yakınlaşmasını nasıl etkiledi (sınırlandırdı ya da zorladı)? İkincisi, realist teori, Hamas ve El-Fetih'in uzlaşı ve yakınlaşma konusundaki tercihlerinde ortaya çıkan benzerlikleri ve farklılıkları anlamada bize yardımcı olur mu? 2011 yılından beri, Ortadoğudaki baskın devletler, hesapları ve kontrolleri ötesinde rekabet içerisindeki güçler ve büyük güç elde etmeye çalışan devletler ile devlet-dışı aktörlere yönelik tepkisel ve proaktif bir tutum sergilemektedir. Devlet dışı aktörler olan Hamas ve El-Fetih'in tepki gösterdiği anlaşmazlık, kendilerinin politik tercihlerine ve stratejilerine de işaret eden bölgesel dinamiklerin sınırlamaları ve fırsatlarına ilişkin bakış açılarındaki farklılıklara işaret eden önemli tedbirler/önlemler üzerinedir. Bu makale, özellikle sistemik ve iç faktörlerin karşılıklı etkileşiminin, iki rakip hareketi ulusal birliğin sağlanması noktasında oldukça farklı yörüngelere yerleştirdiği sonucuna varmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, her iki realist akım (neo-realizm ve neo-klasik realizm), farklı açıklama kapasitesi/fırsatları ile birlikte teorik çerçeve olarak uygun görünmektedir.

The Palestinian political system has been struck since 2007 by political and ideological feuding between Fatah and Hamas. The occupied Palestinian territories (OPT) have been politically divided between the PNA-governed West Bank and Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip. This strategic framework has destructive implications for Palestinian politics and civil space given the hegemonic positions of both rival factions. Inter-movement enmity and the lack of willingness to reach national reconciliation have stalled presidential and legislative elections since 2010 and debilitated the Palestinian cause in the international arena. The Arab Spring movement, in its initial state, delivered to Palestinians a revolutionary stimulus and a strategic window to challenge domestic politics. In retrospect, however, the Palestine Spring proved to be short-lived and ineffective in achieving the demanded politico-economic reforms and national unification of Fatah and Hamas. The article suggests two main factors, among others: (1) the fiasco of the national movement / project and as a result the lack of a hierarchical and organizational role model for the social movement to emulate and (2) the occupational context of the Palestinian case that absorbs public discomfort and decreases the possibility of a mass social movement (a far-reaching Palestine Spring) against historical leadership.
