Summary/Abstract: What is meant with the concept of division in Palestine is the structure that is presented by two different organizations, which are El-Fatah and Hamas. This split represents geographical, sociologic, economic and political separation. The Palestine society is disintegrated and split into parts with Israel occupation. The geographical separation caused sociologic and economic differences. This separation in Palestine turns into even an internal armed conflict. This situation weakens the military, diplomatic and political struggle against Israel. The search for solution to the Israel-Palestine problem and to restore the peace and unity in Palestine are not independent from one another. If only Palestine keeps its unity and stays together, then it can advance in closing the power gap with Israel.
