This current research paper aims to examine the state of fractionalization, fragility, and polarization witnessed by the Palestinian political parties. The study also aims to elaborate the Palestinian political landscape within the context of the Chaos Theory in order to reveal the political ramifications and repercussions of such political on the current political status in Palestine. It is worth mentioning that the present study adopted the semi-systematic review approach as a research method through which a less systematic collection and synthesis of the relevant previous research findings were carried out and further combined with relevant themes and theoretical perspectives related to the subject matter of the present study to provide some evidence of effect on a metalevel, evaluate the collective evidence in this research area to assess whether the arguments for the judgments made were reasonable, and uncover areas in which more research is needed. The findings of the in-depth qualitative analysis of the semi-systematic review of the relevant literature concluded that in the Palestinian cause’s framework, the Palestinian political parties and movements have suffered, for decades, from weakness, erosion, change, death, and reappearance. In fact, they have witnessed major transformations, including many manifestations of political division such as fractionalization, fragility, and polarization. Accordingly, they could not achieve their ultimate goal of liberation and the outcomes of their political work were less satisfactory, with lower political expectations, modest demands, and falling slogans. The findings also concluded that, according to the Chaos Theory, the political landscape, is seen as a chaotic state due to the influence of fractionalization, fragility, and polarization.
