TheHamas government of June 2007 led byIsmail Haniyeh ofHamas was thede factogovernment in the Gaza Strip after a fierceinter-factional Palestinianwarfare in the Gaza Strip, in which Hamas ousted Fatah from the Gaza Strip. The Hamas government was not appointed byPA PresidentMahmoud Abbas nor approved by thePalestinian Legislative Council (PLC). It exercisedde factorule over the Gaza Strip, and was not recognised by any foreign government.
On 14 June 2007, President Abbas dismissed theHaniyeh-led Palestinian unity government of March 2007 and appointed aFatah-led PA government. Abbas also suspended articles in the Basic Law to dispense with the need for the Fatah government to obtain PLC approval. The PA government was widely recognized as the representative government of thePalestinian National Authority, thede jure authority in the Palestinian territories, withde facto control only in the West Bank. However, Haniyeh and Hamas claimed the Fatah-led PA government was illegitimate and unconstitutional.
The Hamas government of June 2007, in parallel with theFatah-led PA government of June 2007, succeeded the Palestinian unity government of March 2007.[1] Haniyeh reshuffled the Hamas government in September 2012, which is regarded as thesecond Hamas government in the Gaza Strip.
