The negotiations between the two rival
Palestinian factions have resulted in a complete understanding to sign
an agreement over all issues under discussion, including a date for
election in Palestinian territories. It is announced that all
differences between Hamas and Fatah have been overcome and both sides
have signed initial letters on an agreement.

The agreement covered all points of
contention, including forming a transitional government, security
arrangements and the restructuring of the Palestine Liberation
Organisation to incorporate Hamas.
Both parties are to meet in Cairo next
week for an official signing ceremony and will be attended by Mahmoud
Abbas and Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal.
Palestinian Authority’s (PA) thorny
peace process with Israel and the issue of Jewish settlements in
confiscated Palestinian lands convinced PA, that the dream of
Palestinian statehood is not going to be realised in a foreseeable
future. Fatah led PA finally seems to have become convinced that working
for Palestinian reconciliation and unity is more important than
pursuing peace with Israel.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the
head of Israeli intransigence has said Mahmoud Abbas could not hope to
forge a peace deal with Israel if he pursued a reconciliation accord
with Hamas.
‘The Palestinian Authority must choose
either peace with Israel or peace with Hamas. There is no possibility
for peace with both,’ Netanyahu said.
Uncle Sam, who always appears as the big
shadow over anything that happens in the Middle East says a review on
details of the reconciliation is underway and expressed concern over
Hamas’ refusal to recognise Israel’s right to exist.
