    Nah the PLO is the official government of Palestine and is recognized as so by basically everyone, but they are stationed in the West Bank and Israel tries to keep them separated. Hamas has some control over Gaza and held an election decades ago before most of the people there could vote and hasn’t held another one since.

      The palestinian authority answers to hamas and the muslim brotherhood. So, yea, hamas, the people that actually got voted in, do run the show.
