Israel is upset with the U.S. for cooperating with the new P.A. gov't. The following is a quote from an article titled Netanyahu 'Deeply Troubled' by U.S. Cooperation with PA Gov't, that appeared in Arutz Sheva:

"This Palestinian government is a government backed by Hamas, which is a terror organization committed to Israel's destruction," the official, who declined to be named, pointed out.
Communications Minister Gilad Erdan went even further, calling the United States “naive” following Psaki’s comments.
“Unfortunately, the American naiveté is breaking all records. Cooperating with Hamas, which is designated as a terrorist organization in the U.S. and which murders women and children is unacceptable,” he said.
“America’s repeated surrendering to the dictates of the Palestinians seriously harms the chances of ever resuming negotiations with the Palestinians, and Israel will take unilateral steps to protect its citizens from the terrorist government established by [PA Chairman Mahmoud] Abbas,” declared Erdan.
Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz accused Washington of hypocrisy on Tuesday, telling Army Radio, "You cannot present it as a Hamas government internally, then present it publicly as a government of technocrats If these (ministers) are people who identify with Hamas, Hamas identifies with them and appointed them, then they are representatives of Hamas. This is a Hamas government, and Hamas is a terror organization."
