Discussion of international legitimacy has caused a lot of confusion after its meaning became devalued in Security Council resolutions even for some of the specialists. The term 'international legitimacy resolutions' has become common in Arabic literature and writings of as well as in the resolutions of international Arab organizations and bodies. With regard to the Palestinian Cause, the issue has become more complicated and more uncertain especially after the dispute between Al Fatah and Hamas about international legitimacy and its conditions. After Abu Mazen insisted on Hamas' commitment to it, the dialogue could begin. Also Israel imposed the same condition in order to lift the siege of Gaza. The change in the concept and content of international legitimacy after the Oslo Agreement has complicated the issue. Finally, the construction of theoretical elements of international legitimacy with regard to the Palestinian Cause and all that is related to Israel and the Arab cases differs from the implementation of this legitimacy. This study aims to clarify these points about the theory of international legitimacy in the Palestinian Cause, and how it differs in practice.
