The Fatah–Hamas conflict ( an-Nizāʿ bayna Fataḥ wa-Ḥamās), also referred to as the Palestinian Civil War ( al-Ḥarb al-ʾAhliyyah al-Filisṭīnīyyah), began in 2006, after Hamas' legislative victories. It has continued, politically and sometimes militarily up to this day. The conflict, which erupted between the two main Palestinian parties, Fatah and Hamas, resulted in the split of Palestinian Authority into two polities, both seeing themselves the true representatives of the Palestinian people – the Fatah ruled Palestinian National Authority and the Hamas Government in Gaza.

abstract
| - The Fatah–Hamas conflict ( an-Nizāʿ bayna Fataḥ wa-Ḥamās), also referred to as the Palestinian Civil War ( al-Ḥarb al-ʾAhliyyah al-Filisṭīnīyyah), began in 2006, after Hamas' legislative victories. It has continued, politically and sometimes militarily up to this day. The conflict, which erupted between the two main Palestinian parties, Fatah and Hamas, resulted in the split of Palestinian Authority into two polities, both seeing themselves the true representatives of the Palestinian people – the Fatah ruled Palestinian National Authority and the Hamas Government in Gaza. The Cairo reconciliation agreement between the parties was signed in May 2011, bringing hopes of reuniting the Fatah-ruled Palestinian National Authority and the Hamas Government in Gaza. The implementation of the agreement however was not executed up until the withdrawal of the Hamas external office from Damascus, due to the Syrian civil war. As a result, the Doha deal was signed by Mahmoud Abbas and Khaled Mashal in 2012. On April 1, 2012, the Doha implementation however was described as "stalling". with no progress on the joint elections scheme. In addition, the Fatah blamed Hamas that its security forces have set up roadblocks and arrested dozens of Fatah members and individuals in Gaza, whom they accused of "spreading rumors". In the aftermath of the Palestinian UN upgrade to observer state status, all negotiations have ceased. In the 2013 Egyptian coup, Hamas government in Gaza was described as a major loser, with its major ally Muslim Brotherhood headed government in Egypt overthrown. According to one Palestinian rights group, more than 600 Palestinians were killed in fighting from January 2006 to May 2007. A serious escalation in the violence was marked by the 2006 Rimal neighborhood shootings.[citation needed]
