The dream of a single palestine state receded further with the militant Hamas taking over Gaza.the Fatah then started to consolidate themselves in the west bank.the way the situation is right now,a clash between the Hamas and the Fatah seems more likely than ever especially with the west restoring aid and backing the current fatah led government in the west bank.
It is indeed a shame that a movement led by Yasser arafat should have come to this.but i do have to point out that with the militant Hamas out of the government the west finds the current government of palestine much more palatable to deal with.so lets hope that the Middle east peace process is renewed ASAP.
