Ironic. The power hunger of Hamas has divided Palestine even more when what they have wanted was to be one state/nation

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Witnesses say Hamas forces have taken over Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' compound in Gaza City. Abbas wasn't there at the time.
The beleaguered leader abandoned Gaza and fled to the West Bank, where those from his own Fatah party went on the offensive and rounded up three dozen Hamas fighters. The fear was that Hamas' momentum could spread to the West Bank.
A Hamas militant was gunned down by Fatah gunmen in the West Bank, Hamas officials said early Friday, the first such killing there after weeks of violence in Gaza.
Hospital officials said the Hamas militant's body was riddled with bullets.
Abbas declared a state of emergency and disbanded the Hamas-led unity government after the Islamic militant group vanquished its Fatah rivals and effectively took control of the Gaza Strip on Thursday.
It was a day of major victories for Hamas and its backers in Iran and Syria — and of devastating setbacks for the Western-backed Fatah. In one particularly humiliating scene, masked Hamas fighters marched agents of the once-feared Preventive Security Service out of their headquarters, arms raised in the air, stripped to the waist and ducking at the sound of a gunshot.
