Something to Watch For:

The emergence of Al Qaeda-inspired jihadist groups in Gaza.

After BBC reporter David Johnston was captured by a "shadowy" group called the Army of Islam, everyone said, "who?" It appears that in addition to Hamas and Islamic Jihad, Army if Islam might be one of a number of emerging groups supporting global jihad in the Palestinian territories, and Gaza in particular.

If Hamas remains in government, that may leave room for more radical groups to claim their slice of Gaza's angry young men.
