The second Palestinian legislative elections in 2006 was a turning point in the Palestinian political scene because electing the Islamic Resistance Movement “Hamas” was not accepted by Israel nor by the international and regional communities, not even by some Palestinian factions which lead to the Palestinian political division and imposing the siege on the Gaza Strip. This study aims to identify the role of the Palestinian official and popular diplomacy which attempts to lift the siege on the Gaza Strip during the period 2006-2015.
