@OGSAFUNKATEER1901 No, Hamas did not gain a majority in 2006, PA/Fatah had seats but were murdered 14 June 2007
June 14, 2007, Hamas executed a military coup, leading to their total control over the region. Here's a brief overview:
Background: Following the Palestinian legislative elections in 2006, Hamas had effectively taken over all Fatah security positions in Gaza, including the headquarters of the Preventive Security Service, which was one of the last strongholds of Fatah.
The coup resulted in a split in Palestinian governance. Hamas controlled Gaza, while Fatah (backed by Mahmoud Abbas, the President of the Palestinian National Authority) maintained control over the West Bank.
The international community, including the U.S. and European Union, condemned the violence, this led to a blockade of Gaza by Israel and Egypt, with restricted movement and goods entering or leaving the territory.
