The Palestinians elected an organization that they considered less corrupt than the Fatah. An organization that had worked hard to win the hearts of Palestinians by doing a great job in education, healthcare, and feeding of Palestinians. For many years they could do that job so convincingly by the financial support of Israel and the US. And they committed acts of violence against Israel that many people considered terrorism. While other called it a fight for freedom of the Palestinians. They got elected but the West didn’t accept the outcome of that election. And Israel refused to negotiate with the new government. I think Israel loved that outcome, because they didn’t want to negotiate anyway. And while Israel requires a Palestinian government recognizing Israel's right to exist before negotiating, it is doing everything it can to prevent the establishment of a viable Palestinian state.
