[Ynet] The unity agreement signed Wednesday is a lifeline for the Islamist organization struggling to ruling Gazoo, and poses a threat to the development in the West Bank.
When one examines the articles of the reconciliation agreement between Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, and Fatah, one can quickly understand that this is an old soup that has been reheated. The agreement the two sides signed was to implement previous agreements on internal Paleostinian unity.
The only significant difference to grant the current deal a modicum of gravitas is the rigid timeframe it stipulates: Five weeks to the formation of an interim government, and legislative elections six months after. But the agreements Fatah and Hamas reached in Cairo and Doha also set a timeframe -- one that was never implemented. |
