Abstract

More than one million Palestinian Arab citizens lived in Israel (within the pre-1967 borders) in 2000,1 and about 3.2 million Palestinians lived in the West Bank and Gaza.2 Until 1967, these two groups were separated by the so-called Green Line. Since then, they have developed different forms of contact at both personal and group levels. This contact has brought about an ongoing academic and public debate about the political significance of the Green Line and the nature of the relationships and orientation of the two groups. In this context, a number of questions are usually raised: Has the renewal of contact between the two groups created a shared view as far as the attitude towards Israel is concerned? Have they developed a common strategy in terms of their national struggle and political future? What has been the impact of major events that have occurred among the Palestinians on both sides of the Green Line on the orientation of the two groups?
