For starters they say that Fayyed is the Prime Minister of Palestine. He has never been the Prime minister.
Never mind the
IMRA piece never said what you claim , what you claim isn't so.
Were there other factually incorrect statements you care to shed light on?
Salam Fayyad (Arabic: سلام فياض‎; born 1952) is a Palestinian politician and the current Prime Minister of the Palestinian National Authority after being reappointed on 19 May 2009.
Salam]Error Fayyad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quote from your source. "...its defiance of the Palestinian Authority headed by Abu Mazen and Salam Fayyad." The presidential term of Abu Mazen. aka Abbas, expired on Jan. 9, 2009. Salam Fayyad is not the prime minister. Why are they reported as heading the Palestinian Authority? From your Wikipedia link "(Salam Fayyad) has not been confirmed by the Palestinian Legislative Council, the Palestinian Authority's parliament." This is a constitutional requirement. Just as presidential appointments in the US require Senate approval, Presidential appointments in Palestine require approval of the PLC before they can take office.
So you object to the facts

Another quote "In recent years, primarily since Hamas seized control of the Gaza Strip,..." Hamas did not "seize control" it was already the elected government in power by way of winning the majority of seats in the PLC. (the Palestinian parliament)
Hamas takes control of Gaza | World news | guardian.co.uk
Hamas fighters today basked in triumph after taking complete control in Gaza as the west scrambled for a response to the arrival of Islamist power on Israel's doorstep.
In a stark demonstration of the new facts on the ground, a masked Hamas fighter sat down at the desk of the Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas, also known as Abu Mazen, and declared an end to the western-backed authority in the Gaza strip.
In an imaginary telephone call to the US, a fighter from the Islamist movement's armed wing, Izz el-Deen al-Qassam, joked: "Hello Condoleezza Rice. You have to deal with me now, there is no Abu Mazen anymore."
In one of its first assertions of authority, Hamas called for the immediate release of the BBC Gaza correspondent, Alan Johnston, who was seized in March.
"He is a guest of the Palestinian people," a masked Hamas official said at a news conference.
Amid scenes of disorder, the deposed Hamas prime minister, Ismail Haniyeh, called for an end to looting of abandoned Fatah properties and proposed reconciliation talks with Mr Abbas.

At least 10 killed as Hamas forces seize Fatah HQ in northern Gaza Strip
Abbas' forces ordered to stop Hamas 'coup'; total of 25 Palestinians killed as violence rages.
At least 10 people were killed and dozens wounded as Hamas captured the headquarters of the Fatah-allied security forces in northern Gaza on Tuesday evening, seizing a key prize in the bloody battle for control of the Gaza Strip.
Another quote "In January 2008, an IHH delegation met with Ahmad Bahar, a senior Hamas activist who is chairman of the legislative council of the Hamas regime in Gaza." Ahmad Bahar is the chairman of the legislative council, (PLC) the legislative branch of the government in all of Palestine not a "Hamas regime in Gaza."
Palestinian Legislative Counci lGaza City looks effective ,pretty much looks like "palestine"
