Hamas is trying to enact legislation that will strip Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas of some of the powers granted during the previous regime. Reacting angrily to the move, Fattah spokesperson said that Hamas is trying to bring about a “regime change” and asked to consider the consequences carefully. Hamas came to power primarily because of fractured vote in the Gaza Strip where incessant infighting within Fattah caused disenfranchisement. The world community still deals with PA because of Abbas and what he stands for but has stopped all non-humanitarian aid. If Abbas also leaves, the future of the PA debate will become unclear possibly collapsing the peace roadmap.
