Minister Of Health Of The Gaza Strip
The Gaza Health Ministry is the government agency responsible for healthcare and medical services in the Gaza Strip of the Palestinian territories. It operates under the administration of the Hamas authority that has run the territory since 2007. During the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, concerns were raised regarding the accuracy of the ministry's casualty numbers. Groups such as the UN, WHO, Human Rights Watch and the US Department of State have historically considered the ministry's numbers reliable. However, the ministry's numbers do not differentiate between civilians and combatants and pin all deaths, whether from Israeli attacks or errant Palestinian rockets, on what the ministry terms "Israeli aggression". History The Palestinian territories (the West Bank and the Gaza Strip) used to be served by a single government ministry of health. Following Hamas' takeover of Gaza in 2007, the Hamas government in the Gaza Strip has appointed its own alternate health ministers than th ...

Governance Of The Gaza Strip
The governance of the Gaza Strip since the Hamas takeover of the Gaza Strip in June 2007 has been carried out by Hamas, which is often referred to as the Hamas government in Gaza. The Hamas administration was led by Ismail Haniyeh from 2007 to 2014 and again from 2016. After Hamas won the Palestinian legislative elections on 25 January 2006, Ismail Haniyeh was nominated Prime Minister, establishing a Palestinian national unity government with Fatah. This government effectively collapsed with the outbreak of the violent conflict between Hamas and Fatah. After the takeover of the Gaza Strip by Hamas on 14 June 2007, Palestinian Authority Chairman Abbas dismissed the Hamas-led government and appointed Salam Fayyad Prime Minister. Though the new Ramallah-based Palestinian government's authority was claimed to extend to all Palestinian territories, in effect it became limited to the West Bank, as Hamas would not recognize the dismissal and continued to rule the Gaza Strip.

Hamas Government Of June 2007
The Hamas government of June 2007 led by Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas was the ''de facto'' government in the Gaza Strip after a fierce inter-factional Palestinian warfare in the Gaza Strip, in which Hamas ousted Fatah from the Gaza Strip. The Hamas government was not appointed by PA President Mahmoud Abbas nor approved by the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC). It exercised ''de facto'' rule over the Gaza Strip, and was not recognised by any foreign government. On 14 June 2007, President Abbas dismissed the Haniyeh-led Palestinian unity government of March 2007 and appointed a Fatah-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 the Palestinian National Authority, the ''de jure'' authority in the Palestinian territories, with ''de facto'' control only in the West Bank. However, Haniyeh and Hamas claimed the Fa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
