2006-2007 economic sanctions against the Palestinian National Authority

The 2006-2006 economic sanctions against the Palestinian National Authority were economic sanctions imposed by Israel and the Quartet on the Middle East against the Palestinian National Authority following the January 2006 legislative elections that democratically brought Hamas to power. [] Indeed, on June 25, 2007, Israel agreed to transfer hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenues it had seized to the Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas in order to support the Fatah government.
