		Tanzim – Arabic for "organisation" – is the armed wing of Fatah, the largest faction of the Palestinian Liberation Organisation, and the one that Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Yasser Arafat himself leads.
		In this sense, the Tanzim is the ideological heir to the Fatah Hawks – Arafat’s armed enforcers during the later days of the Intifada – which was "dismantled" through a security agreement with Israel in 1995-1996.
		The one major exception to this trend is Marwan Barghouthi, the secretary general of Fatah in the West Bank and acknowledged head of the Tanzim.

		In interviews earlier this year, Barghouthi attributed a decline in the popularity of Fatah – recent defeats in student council elections etc. – to the poor performance of the P’A and particularly the security apparatus.
		The growing prestige of Barghouthi and the Tanzim at the expense of the PA security apparatus and outsider Fatah influence has at times compelled Arafat to try to weaken the growing power of the organization by encouraging rivalries.
