Abstract
National unity, nonviolent resistance, good governance, and social justice are the Palestinian National Initiative’s (PNI) key concerns. The party was founded in 2002 and purports to offer an alternative to Palestinians who do not identify with Fatah or Hamas. The PNI is led by a popular leader, Mustafa Barghouthi, although this has so far not translated into a broader public support base in parliamentary elections (table 5.1).
