This study dealt with the relationship between the ideology of the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine and the political development in it. This study is emerged from the hypothesis which says: Al Jihad Movement is calling up the efforts to fight the Israelis and expelling them from Palestine through martyrdom. However, it doesn't focus on the political stirring at high levels to serve the liberation of Palestine. It also plays a weak role in the political development and an acting role in facing the occupation.
