Violations Within the West Bank

The disregard for granting basic human rights of Palestinians are at a high with the Hamas occupation. The West Bank is a terrible place to be at the moment; and the journalists are either too afraid to anger Palestinian leaders with questions. Among those most targeted are members of the Fatah party in Palestinian areas.

The Palestinian government is a unity government between two rivals. The Palestinian Authority governs the area while Hamas is in control of the military. Recently, the two sides are becoming further apart in their political views and attitude towards Israel. He said the two sides had agreed to hold a meeting soon to continue discussion and reconciliation.

The tensions within the political system of West Bank have left many issues unattended to. Instead of focusing on the suffering people in the area, the government is more focused on internal issues. The big issue being that Fatah is willing to recognize Israel as a nation, opposite of what Hamas is willing to accept.
