Although the document drawn up by members of five separate Palestinian factions jailed in Israel's Hadarem prison was an attempt to "preserve Palestinian unity"--its full title is "The Palestinian National Accord Document"--it nevertheless has become the center of a national dispute. The document calls for a unity government and for Jerusalem to be the capital of a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza. It implicitly recognizes Israel--a card that Hamas government appears to be holding for a later stage in West Bank's battle for liberation, and also believes that any referendum on the essential questions of the Palestinian issue should include all Palestinians.
