• Applying a Gramscian approach to Palestine's socio-political context
• with particular reference to the notions of historical block and organic crisis
• this article provides an interpretation of the political and social crisis that has stalled the Palestinian issue
• and of the weakening of the Palestinian national movement
• whose historical arc has been reconstructed. Following this approach
• the national movement's internal dynamics will be examined in particular
• leaving external dynamics &ndash
• which have
• however
• influenced and will necessarily affect its transformation
• effectiveness and practicability &ndash
• in the background. The discussion argues that
• beginning with the end of the first Intifada and with the start of the peace agreements and the establishment of an effective political/temporal power
• the movement for the Palestinian people's self-determination has embarked on a phase of irreversible decline
• marked by a disconnection between the ruling class and the claims it aims to promote
• with a consequent loss of consensus and representativeness of the people's will. This disintegration of the Palestinian national movement thus leads us to recognize an organic crisis in the current situation
• just as in Gramsci's view
