Hamas refuses to recognize Israel whereas the previous Palestinian party in power, Fatah, is willing to recognize Israel and negotiate with them to degree. Therefore, when Hamas replaced Fatah as the legitimate government of the Palestinians by elections in 2006, Israeli relations with the Palestinian Authority soured in anticipation of the more doggedly Anti-Israel stance of Hamas.
The Declaration of Principles established a new Palestinian Authority region of control in Gaza, giving Palestinians living there the beginnings of a State. In terms of on-the-ground differences, those really did not come until the unilateral Israeli withdrawal in 2005 and the election and Palestinian Civil War of 2006.
Hamas was the clear victor over Fatah in the 2006 Palestinian Elections, but Fatah refused to concede them the election, knowing that Israel would not allow Hamas to rule the Palestinian Authority.
