The legitimate government of Gaza is holed up in the West Bank, under the leadership of Mahmoud Abbas. Like him or loathe him, he's the man.

Rubbish, Hamas won the election, get over it! I ain't Muslim, I ain't a Hamas supporter but Hamas is the legitimate government. And don't forget our Sauerkraut Liz ain't elected here either.
