Abstract

[This chapter discusses how the detainees confronted Palestinian political fragmentation following the division between two competing authorities, one governed by Fatah in the West Bank and the other by Hamas in Gaza. It deals with the extension of the prison domain with the political incarceration of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza, mainly from the split between these two entities: how the existence and functioning of these two prison systems intervene in Palestinian internal politics. As a political and consensual resource, the Prisoners’ Movement and the sacred cause of prisoners have been ferments of unity. However, this shared cause has gradually become the object of power struggles in order to represent it: it has induced a slow process of factionalization. This chapter shows how the hunger strikes that have long constituted ways to improve daily living conditions Inside and political tests vis-à-vis the Israeli prison administration have also become political tests within the national movement itself.]
