Hamas and breakaway Fatah faction
VS
Mahmoud Abbas
Hamas and a breakaway Fatah faction are exploring a unified electoral list for the November Palestinian elections, aiming to challenge the current leadership of Mahmoud Abbas.
Hamas is an Islamist movement that won the 2006 legislative elections, while Fatah is a nationalist movement led by Mahmoud Abbas, who retains control of the Palestinian National Authority in the West Bank.
The breakaway faction represents a splinter group within Fatah seeking to realign with Hamas.
The two groups have historically been rivals, with a violent conflict following Hamas's legislative victory that left Fatah in control of the West Bank and Hamas in control of Gaza.
This proposed alliance signals a potential shift in the political landscape, as they seek to challenge Abbas's leadership in the upcoming elections.
The move reflects ongoing fragmentation and efforts to address Palestinian national unity amid a long-standing schism.
