In late September, the government of Gaza, Hamas, announced its agreement to dissolve its governing body and allow the Palestinian Authority to assume its full responsibilities there. Hamas has also agreed to talks with the rival Fatah movement and agreed in principle to hold general elections in Gaza and the West Bank
Gaza is a self-governing Palestinian territory that was captured from Egypt by Israel during the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. In the mid-1990s, under the Oslo accords, Israel transferred security and civilian responsibility for numerous Palestinian-populated areas of Gaza and the West Bank to the newly-created Palestinian Authority, but kept control of Gaza's land and maritime borders and airspace.
Since 2006, Gaza has been controlled by Hamas, which ousted the more moderate Fatah party. Hamas' stated goal since its inception has been to carry out an armed struggle against Israel. It has been a U.S. designated Foreign Terrorist Organization, and is also designated by Israel .Therefore, since 2006, Israel and Egypt have enforced tight restrictions on movement and access of goods and individuals into and out of Gaza.
9月下旬,加沙政府哈马斯宣布同意解散其理事机构,并允许巴勒斯坦权力机构在此承担全部责任。哈马斯还同意与对手的法塔赫运动进行谈判,原则上同意在加沙和西岸举行大选
加沙是1967年阿以战争期间以色列从埃及夺取的一个自治巴勒斯坦领土。在20世纪90年代中期,根据奥斯陆协定,以色列将对加沙和西岸许多巴勒斯坦人口稠密地区的安全和平民责任移交给新设立的巴勒斯坦权力机构,但仍然控制加沙的土地和海上边界和领空。
自2006年以来,加沙受到哈马斯的控制,瓦斯解雇了更温和的法塔赫派。哈马斯自成立以来的目标是对以色列进行武装斗争。这是一个美国指定的外国恐怖组织,也是以色列指定的。因此,自2006年以来,以色列和埃及对货物和个人进出加沙的行动和进出口进行了严格的限制。
