Showdown with Hamas

Apparently not everyone in Palestine is happy about the Hamas win in Parliamentary elections.

In pictures: Palestinian unrest


The pressure on Hamas now is to renounce violence and the denial of Israel's right to exist. Israel has expressed a refusal to deal with Hamas, and now aid for Palestinians from other world powers is in jeopardy. Meanwhile, Iran is happy about the Hamas victory and expresses support for the continued "struggle and resistance against occupation."
