Revision as of 09:54, 20 November 2015
The Palestinian unity government of 2014 is a national and political union formed on 2 June 2014 under Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas. The new government was formed after an agreement between the Fatah and Hamas parties. The ministers were nominally independent, but overwhelmingly seen as loyal to President Mahmoud Abbas and his Fatah movement or to smaller leftist factions. None was believed to have close ties to Hamas.[1]
Before the agreement, there were two separate governments, one ruled by Fatah in the West Bank and the other by Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The European Union, the United Nations, the United States, China, India, Russia and Turkey all agreed to work with it.[2][3][4][5] The Israeli government condemned the unity government because it views Hamas as a terrorist organization.[6][7] The Palestinian unity government first convened in Gaza on 9 October 2014 to discuss the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip following the 2014 Israel–Gaza conflict. On 30 November 2014, Hamas declared that the unity government had ended with the expiration of the six month term.[8][9] But Fatah subsequently denied the claim, and said that the government is still in force.[10]
