The Palestinian National and Islamic Forces ({{langx|ar|القوى الوطنية والإسلامية الفلسطينية}}) is a coalition formed shortly after the outbreak of the second Intifada with the authorization of Yasser Arafat and led by Marwan Barghouti. The coalition coordinates the agenda of its members and helps plan and execute joint political actions against Israel. According to the Anti-Defamation League, the group enjoyed significant influence during the second intifada, but since the election of Mahmoud Abbas in 2005 it has been less active.[http://www.adl.org/terrorism/symbols/palestinian_national_islamic_front.asp International Terrorist Symbols Database.
