The United States' Position on the 2006 Palestinian Elections

Abstract

International positions, including the American position, had an impact after the announcement of the results of the Palestinian legislative elections in 2006. This is due to the significant role the Palestinian cause plays in the security and stability of the Middle East. In this chapter, we will learn about these positions and the extent of their impact on the events that took place in the Palestinian territories after Hamas' victory in the legislative elections, and which countries exerted pressure on the international community to reject the victory and not recognize the Palestinian government formed by Hamas.
