Abstract
Since the establishment of the Palestinian National Authority in 1994, a
mixed political system has been adopted given the specificity of the
Palestinian situation and the relatively new Palestinian political
experience in this field in addition to the actual needs on the ground that
required relatively wide-scale powers to be accorded to the Executive
Branch to manage the affairs of the Palestinian political system (during
the transitional period).
The importance of this study becomes evident through the various
problems and issues that emerged as a result of the ambiguity of the
Palestinian political system and its foundations which led to a state of
instability within this system. This requires further examination of the
preferred future Palestinian political system in order to overcome these
problems.
The principle of separation of powers is the criteria that defines the
essence of democratic governments which are characterized by the
composition of their three branches of powers and the relations among
them based on the existing political system. The separation of powers is
the basis that determines the essence of democratic governments whereby
the composition of their three branches of powers and their relations to
each other depend on their existing political system. The principle of
separation of powers is best illustrated by the parliamentary system that
adopts a flexible interpretation of the separation of powers contrary to the
presidential system that advocates a rigid separation of powers.
The separation of powers within the Palestinian political system as
stipulated by the provisions of the Basic Law is a flexible and relative
separation rather than being absolute. Accordingly, the right to draft
legislations is shared between the executive and legislative authorities and
it is permissible to combine between work as a minister with membership
of the Palestinian Legislative Council. As such, the political system leans
closer to the features and characteristics of the parliamentary system.
However, direct election of the President of the PNA, the highest position
within the executive authority and part of its functions, and according him
the right to raise objections to draft legislations passed by the Legislative
Council, as well as the President's right to declare a state of emergency.
