So it seems the West Bank (well the small bits of it) and the Gaza Strip are to be reunited under one regime. 6 months of interim government followed by free elections throughout the WB and Gaza.

Interesting conundrum for the Israeli right wing, they kept saying Abbas is not a legitimate partner because he does not control Gaza and has no legitimacy to his rule. Now he will have both legitimacy and sovereignty (so called) over Gaza, I expect a new line for refusing negotiation to be drawn soon.

Hamas will control the West Bank in six months. The peace process is entirely over now. Batten down the hatches.
I doubt it, I even think they will lose the election in Gaza to the IJ and Fatah
