Yes, there have been several attempts to forge agreement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, but this is an agreement between Hamas, the recently elected Palestinian authority, and Fatah, the political group that oppsed them within Palestinian government.

The election that put Hamas in power resulted in a tremendous strain on Israel Palestine relatons, including the refusal to allow any money to operate the Palestinian government to reach them.

This agreement is in part, a refutation of the election so that they Palestinian Authority is able to deal with Israel's Government.
