42. Fatah rules in the West Bank, Hamas rules in Gaza

The region I was talking about was Gaza. That is the region that Israel withdrew all its settlements from, and that is the region where Hamas holds power.

No one living in Gaza is impacted by Israeli settlements. They are obviously impacted by many actions taken by the Israeli government but the "settlement enterprise" and "separate roads" and "internal checkpoints" and the like are not present in Gaza, only in the West Bank. There are no marauding settlers chopping down olive trees and there are no walls or fences cutting through Palestinian territory in Gaza.

Yet it is in Gaza where Hamas has taken power, while Fatah maintains power in the West Bank.

Why do you think that is the case?
