Of course they are, Hamas is the Palestinian arm of the Muslim Brotherhood.

(Egypt Independent) — The Gaza Strip erupted in into celebration on Sunday after news that the Muslim Brotherhood’s candidate won the presidency in neighboring Egypt, with one person killed by celebratory gunfire.

Tens of thousands of joyous Palestinians took to the streets across the territory after Egypt announced that Mohammed Morsy won last weekend’s runoff election, the first time an Islamist won that nation’s highest office.

Gunmen fired automatic weapons into the air, while mosque loudspeakers rang with prayer. Some revelers handed out candy on street corners. Others waved Egyptian flags and blasted the country’s national anthem from car speakers.

A Gaza health official said that one person was killed and six others wounded by celebratory gunfire.

Gaza is ruled by Hamas, a local offshoot of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood.
