Summary
This chapter consists of three sections. I first turn to the disputes that transpired in the diaspora leadership and the PIJ shura council in the early 1990s. I engage with the contradictory claims about what happened in order to discuss the bureaucratization of PIJ and its repercussions. I then proceed to the mid-1990s in the second section, where I analyze Shallah’s rise as the new secretary-general. Last, I assess PIJ in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, showing that the movement was nearly absent from the Palestinian armed struggle until the eruption of the Second Intifada.
