According to the Minister of Justice of Palestinian national administration Ibragim Dahme, the given law determines the organization of authority in the Palestinian autonomy and will carry out the role of the constitution up to establishment of the Palestinian state. The initial text of the constitution comprised 112 articles, and after numerous processing its volume has increased almost twice.One of the Constitution of Palestine contains the norms determining fundamentals of the constitutional system. Article 1 characterizes the State of Palestine as the independent sovereign republic. Its territory shall be complete, shall not be subjected to division and shall be based on the borders of June 4, 1967, without infringement of the rights of Palestine guaranteed by decisions of the international community. All inhabitants of the given territory will submit only to the Palestinian constitution raquo ;. The republican form of government was not the subject of discussions as against the problem of the Palestinian borders. In particular, on January 22, 2003 the newspaper Al-Aiam issued by the Palestinian national administration suggested in the given Article of the constitution not to specify the borders of 1967, and the position of the newspaper Al-Haiat issued on February 3, 2003 in London was similar.
