The **Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO)** is a key political umbrella organization founded in 1964 to unify various Palestinian groups that had operated independently, mainly as clandestine resistance movements against Israeli occupation.

In recent years, Palestinian politics have been marked by internal divisions among factions like Hamas and Fatah, with ongoing efforts to unify these groups under a national consensus. For instance, in October 2025, multiple Palestinian organizations met in Cairo, mediated by Egypt and supported by Qatar and Turkey, to form a unified stance on Gaza's future governance, including proposals for a technocratic administration and elections, signaling a cautious shift from militant to civil governance models[2].

The United Nations and related bodies actively support Palestinian rights and humanitarian needs, particularly amid ongoing conflicts and blockades in Gaza that have caused severe humanitarian crises[3][4]. In 2025, significant diplomatic efforts, including Security Council debates and a high-level UN conference, have focused on ceasefire implementation, Hamas disarmament, and recognition of Palestinian statehood by over 150 countries[5].
