The State and Problems of the Modern Palestinian Political Regime

The relevance of the study is determined by the need to understand the state and problems of the political regime of the Palestinian National Authority. The Palestinian regime has recently been in a state of permanent crisis. The reasons for this crisis are the lack of State sovereignty, unresolved political, socio-economic problems of the Palestinian society, as well as the fragmentation of political forces, the lack of consensus among the local elite on the most important issues. The article examines the problems of Palestinian statehood, identifies the reasons preventing the creation of a sovereign state. The emphasis is placed on intra-Palestinian problems, for this reason, the foreign policy aspects of the problem are less affected in this article. Based on various approaches, the article analyzes the positions of the actors of the Palestinian political regime, identifies contradictions inherent in the Palestinian political process. The authors consider the current situation as unfavorable for the constructive scenario of the development of events. The split of the country into two enclaves, the confrontation of the two main forces - Fatah and Hamas, the difficult socio-economic situation of the Palestinians, the fragmentation of Palestinian society complicate the task of overcoming the crisis and achieving the main goal of the Palestinian people - the creation of their own state. The methodological basis of the article is the theoretical developments of Arab, Russian and foreign researchers. The work uses general philosophical and socio-humanitarian methods. The empirical data used in the work are taken from open sources.
