It seeks to contribute to the process of reconstruction and reuniting of the Palestinian society, through developing capacities and forming a collective and an individual conscience. This is aimed at keeping the Palestinians’ right to remain steadfast on their land and achieving goals of building an independent free state. It represents the voice of the Palestinian’s hope to build a democratic state that protects human dignity and encourages the development of its people in a peaceful, secure atmosphere that guarantees harmony with neighboring countries.
