After the big win of Hamas in the last Palestinian Legislative Election in January, 2006, all political parties and factions, especially in Palestine, have been surprised at the Fatah position in seeking to frustrate all of Hamas's programs as an elected government. Observers are now saying Fatah has lost its political direction and compass as a result. In a review of its perspectives since dominating the Palestinian political scene since the 1960s, we find that Fatah positions and policies have been retreating and changing especially in regard to the justness of the Palestinian rights and negotiations with Israel, the occupier. The development of the Palestinian cause and the increase of international and regional pressure on the Palestinian people and its national leaders require all factions and movements, especially Fatah, to put its own personal interests aside and stress on the democratic approach rather than adopt conflict-ridden measures as a way of applying pressure on Hamas. Such is not in the higher interests of the Palestinian people.
