In May 2007, the coalition deal between Hamas and Fatah appeared to be weaker, as new fighting broke out between the factions. This was considered a major setback. ^[1] Interior Minister Qawasmi, who had been considered a moderate civil servant acceptable to both factions, resigned due to what he termed harmful behavior by both factions. ^[2]
