 The Institute for Public Policies (IPP) has issued recently the 10th issue of Seyasat that includes writings from several well known Arabic and Palestinian scholars. The tenth issue of Seyasat appeared in November 2009. it is contains 190 pages.

Many articles and studies in this issue are focused on analysing the outputs of the Sixth General Conference of “Fateh”movement; therefore it offers a group of profound and serious studies which read through the papers and documents of this conference.

 Researcher “Bassam Darwish” discusses the political program of the movement within the mainstream of the development of the movement as well as the evolution of its political experience. Darwish is doing so after reviewing the development of the political and national awareness of “Fateh” as well as reviewing its determinants.

 Maj. Gen. William Nassar, Chairman of the statute at the Sixth Conference discusses the amendments to the statute and offers a critical vision of the reality of experience, as well as some useful suggestions for the movement’s work in the future.

 Dr. Samir Abdullah, a former Minister of Planning and an economic researcher, presents a reading through the National Building Document that is approved by the Sixth Conference. It includes a vision of “Fateh “for the state and the services it will provide to the citizen. Dr. Abdullah states that it’s interesting that such a document might be the most important but the least favoured through discussion. 

In addition to this, “Seyasat” is hosting this week three members of the Central Committee who were elected during the Sixth Conference, these are: Dr. Nasser Al- Qudweh, Mr. Mohammed Madani (Abu Yafea’) and Mr. Mahmoud Al-Aloul (Abu Jihad). The magazine discusses with them the current issues in the movement, its attitudes, future, and its vision of the conflict, the nature of the solution, and the state and relationship with the authority.

“Seyasat” also specifies a considerable part of its agenda on public policy to publish the most part of the National Building Document released by the Sixth Conference. 

In the articles’ corner, Mr. Moussa Abu Mallouh, the legal expert and professor of Law at Al- Azhar University, warns about the issue of President Mahmoud Abbas not calling for legislative elections would, legally, have meant the collapse of the PNA and causing a great legal space/ absence at the President’s position. Abu Mallouh even warns that any future agreement among the fractions will have no excuse to postpone the elections as the Legislative Council shall be asked to approve any delay in the date of the elections after reaching to an agreement among those fractions.

Dr. Ghassan Al-Khatib, spokesman of the Government, wrote about the Government’s document to build the institutions of the Palestinian State.
