Palestinian Reconciliation Sputters

[Disir]

Formal notice of the delay was provided by the deputy secretary of Fatah Revolutionary Council, Fayez Abu Eita, after a meeting of the factions in the Gaza Strip. “In order to achieve the goal of our people to achieve the reconciliation and end the division, the two movements request [a delay in] the handing over of the government tasks in Gaza, as agreed in the Cairo agreement, until the 10th of December.” Political analyst Abdl Al-Satar Qasem sees the delay as more than a logistical postponement. Rather, he told The Media Line that “based upon the circumstances, Palestine is not ready for a reconciliation. The Palestinian political positions are so different: Fatah recognizes Israel and Hamas is fighting Israel.” He admonished the Palestinian people not to allow the “confusing situation” to kill the deal. “Palestinians must move, and shouldn’t be quiet about what we see as trivialities.” Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas placed a gag order on comments relating to the issue widely believed to be the undoing of the agreement: Hamas’s refusal to hand its weapons over to the national government of reconciliation.



Lest the Hamas position be unclear, one of its senior officials, Khalel Al-Haya, insisted at a Monday news conference following the latest talks in Cairo that] retaining “the resistance weapon” [read: armed fighters] is nonnegotiable” and all Palestinians should stop asking about it. Admittedly, the idea of Hamas retaining its arms and its commitment to fighting Israel is not objectionable to all Palestinians, even those who are not Hamas loyalists. One long-time Fatah official, commissioner for international relations Nabil Sha’ath, told The Media Line that the main idea is not to “kill” the “Palestinian resistance,” [read: Hamas fighting force] but to recruit it “to defend the Palestinian people's cause and rights.” He said, “It's not like we are going to disarm Hamas and give the weapons to Israel, the idea is to have one weapon under one Palestinian government. We refuse to use that weapon against Palestinians like what happened in 2006 [referring to the internecine warfare between Fatah and Hamas.]”

With the exception of the zionists pretending as they speak for the Jewish people, that is probably the worst lie of all. The zionists never wanted peace.

In context of this attempt at reconciliation, please define "Peace" in the middle east, will ya?

They need to get their act together. This isn't the Zionists' fault.

Funny enough, it's crickets when actually trying to discuss who are the players in the Palestinian reconciliation, it's easier to go with "Israel did this and that..."

2 of the players they would usually not talk about are - Qatar and Iran,
while Egypt as I understand, is supposed to balance and pull Palestinians away from the Iranian Crescent.
