Fatah, literally translating to "opening," is a reverse acronym of the Arabic name "Harakat al-Tahrir al-Watani al-Filastini," meaning "Palestinian National Liberation Movement." Fatah is a secular major opposition political party in Palestine and the largest organization in the Palestine Liberation Organization, a multi-party confederation. Founded in 1959 by Yasser Arafat, Fatah has supported a number of military organizations under its jurisdiction, though, unlike its rival Hamas, is not labeled a terrorist organization by any nation. In 1993, under the leadership of Arafat, Fatah officially recognized the state of Israel and formally denounced terrorism. In the 2006 Fatah lost its majority in the Palestinian National Authority and officially assumed the role of the opposition.
