Hamas Sweeps Palestinian Elections, Complicating Peace Efforts in Mideast Youssef Shrafi, a Hamas candidate for the Palestinian parliament, is congratulated at his home in the Jabalya refugee camp in the Gaza Strip. (By Mohammed Salem -- Reuters) By Scott Wilson Washington Post Foreign Service Friday, January 27, 2006 RAMALLAH, West Bank, Jan. 26 -- The radical Islamic movement Hamas won a large majority in the new Palestinian parliament, according to official election results announced Thursday, trouncing the governing Fatah party in a contest that could dramatically reshape the Palestinians' relations with Israel and the rest of the world. In Wednesday's voting, Hamas claimed 76 of the 132 parliamentary seats, giving the party at war with Israel the right to form the next cabinet under the Palestinian Authority's president, Mahmoud Abbas, the leader of Fatah.
