Summary

This chapter consists of four sections. First, I assess the disputes of the PIJ nucleus and the Palestinian Muslim Brotherhood once the former returned to the Gaza Strip. I proceed to analyze how the PIJ nucleus recruited new members from the mosques and universities of Gaza after seceding from the Brotherhood, and how it established itself firmly in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. As the PIJ nucleus recruited a number of secular-nationalist militants in Israeli prisons, I go on to analyze how it did so and what this transition from the PLO to PIJ signified. Last, I assess how PIJ managed to spread from the Gaza Strip to the West Bank.
