Is the PA helping or hurting the Palestinians?

Is the PA helping or hurting the Palestinians?

It's coming up to 50 years of occupation for the West Bank and Gaza.

Over two decades ago, the Palestinian Authority, or PA, was established as part of the Oslo Accords to represent the Palestinian people.

Nowadays, the PA is finding its support dwindling. Six in ten don't approve of President Mahmoud Abbas, and eight in ten believe the PA is corrupt, according to a 2015 poll.

In this week's Reality Check, Mehdi Hasan looks at how the PA isn't representing Palestinians as well as they would hope.
