Following Hamas’s win in Wednesday’s election many voices have been aired condemning the party and their continued resolve to remain armed. Scuffles occurred between Hamas and Fatah members escalated throughout the weekend with the parliamentary buildings being attacked by Fatah members. Israel has responded to this historic win with a general condemnation of the new elected party and have so far refused to engage with them.The so called ‘road map for peace’ has been put on hold and governments throughout the world are having to rethink their dealing with the Hamas led government. The EU Parliament has discussed the issue of funding to the Palestinian government. There are fears that money would be channelled into terrorist acts against Israel.[BBC]
