Later, the organizations appear to have negotiated a modus vivendi. While Hamas won't abandon terrorist actions against Israel, it has periodically agreed, for example, to refrain from sending suicide bombers into Israel for defined periods. While it refuses to accept the PA as an authority, it does accept Arafat's right to represent the Palestinian people internationally.
