Israel and the US refused to accept the right of Palestinians to form a unity government with Hamas and Fatah and now, after internal strife, Hamas alone controls Gaza.  Forty-one of the 43 victorious Hamas candidates who lived in the West Bank are now imprisoned by Israel, plus an additional ten who assumed positions in the short-lived coalition cabinet.
Israel y Estados Unidos se negaron a aceptar el derecho de los palestinos a formar un gobierno de unidad con Hamas y Fatah y hoy, después de una lucha interna, sólo Hamas controla Gaza.
