Several failing attempts have been conducted to bring along a unity government that would solve the Gaza-West Bank division. Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and other parties were faced with the conditions that the two parties, Hamas and Fateh, place ahead of negotiations.
Fateh, currently controlling the West Bank and led by President Mahmoud Abbas, condition negotiations with Hamas on the return of Gaza under the former's rule, while Hamas desires negotiations with Fateh while keeping the status-quo as is.
Occasionally and in the midst of the mediation efforts, tensions rise on both sides as a result of the several provocative announcements by leaders and media stations. Imprisonment of the other's group members also contributed much to entangling the agreements' efforts.
The closest the negotiations came to a final agreement was in early June 2014 when a national consensus government was formed, which was paving the way towards the election of a new president and parliament. Israel, however, announed that it would not negotiate any peace deal with the newly formed government and would push punitive measures. About a month later Israel launched its "Protective Edge" offensive military attack against Gaza.
