In the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, there are a variety of Palestinian views of the peace process. Some Palestinian leaders have said that the peace process is intended to achieve a permanent peace with the State of Israel; other Palestinians have maintained, throughout the entire process, the goal of destroying Israel. This article discusses the views held by important Palestinian figures as documented in interviews or in other sources, and by the general population as documented by polls.
In general the amiability of the Palestinians towards "the peace process" depends on the current social and economic circumstances they find themselves in. Whenever they feel more oppressed they are more likely to support extremist organisations than otherwise. The perspective has consistently reflected a view of survival against supremacist Zionist colonialism over their territories and people.
The most recent draft of the palestinian constitution [1] by the National Committee states a desire to adhere to international law as set out by the United Nations and to give all peoples within its borders human and civil rights.
As far as the Palestinian refugees are concerned, many of them would like to return to their original homes (see right to return) often regardless of what kind of state they would find themselves in as a result. Any possible peace deal is judged in this way.
The stated goal of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad is to overthrow Israel and replace it with an Islamic theocracy or Islamist state. Both parties undertook a three month hudna (some sort of ceasefire) indirectly in support of the " Road map for peace" at the urging of then Palestinian prime minister Mahmoud Abbas.
Acceptance of Israel's right to exist in peace is the first of the PLO's obligations in the Oslo accords. In Yasser Arafat's September 9, 1993 letter to Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, as part of Oslo I, Arafat stated that "The PLO recognizes the right of the State of Israel to exist in peace and security."
Arafat likes to be seen as promoting peace as best he can without squandering the Palestinian cause, despite the fact the Israeli government keeps him "quarantined" and threatens to kill him. For example, Electronic Intifada states that Arafat has made several calls for an end to violence and lasting peace, in both Arabic and English [2].
Arafat, being the undisputed leader of the Palestinians at the moment, has to deal with unfavorable views by many Israelis, who see him as merely using the peace process to extract short-term concessions and merely viewing it as a stepping stone on the road to the complete destruction of the state of Israel.
