Palestinians negotiate in Algeria
|
[AlAhram] Another reconciliation meeting between Fatah and Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,, this time in Algeria, has no hope of success, writes Mohammed Abu Shaar from Gazoo.
| The gap between Fatah and Hamas is growing, which complicates any mediation attempts to bridge their differences. |
In mid-January, Algerian officials met with representatives of Paleostinian factions separately, to pave the way to a comprehensive dialogue on Paleostinian reconciliation and ending the division between Fatah and Hamas, which has controlled the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
since 2007.

Divisions began after the last Paleostinian parliamentary elections in early 2006, followed by accusations on both sides of non-compliance with the outcome. This led to violent mostly peaceful festivities between Hamas fighters and Paleostinian Authority (PA) security agencies, which ended with Hamas in full control of Gaza.
Algerian officials met with Fatah representatives, followed by meetings with Hamas figures. Both groups sent delegations to Algeria on the invitation by Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune. Other Paleostinian factions also came to Algeria, including the Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine (PFLP) and the  Democratic Front for the Liberation of Paleostine
... a breakaway faction of the Pöpular Frönt för the Liberation of Paleostine. The are regarded as the most intellectual of Paleostinian fedayeen groups, smoking cheap cigarettes and drawing heavily on Marxist-Leninist theory to explain their crappy lives. They can occasionally be seen strutting through the streets of Paleostine, dressed up like soldiers and lugging firearms, though they seldom manage to hit anything and then usually by accident. This may be because of their habit of wearing black masks that cut off most of their vision. That would also explain their habit of occasionally walking into walls, which is a well-known attribute of those immersed in true understanding of the dialectic...
as well as the Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...

. Algeria is hoping for progress on this issue. Foreign Minister Ramtane Lamamra told a news conference in Kuwait on the margins of the Arab foreign ministers’ meeting on Sunday, "The journey of reconciliation for Paleostinian factions has started. Algeria has long experience in bringing Paleostinians together."
Lamamra was referencing his country’s experience in hosting meetings to close Fatah ranks before the PA was created in 1994.
Egypt has led most efforts to reconcile Paleostinian factions, among other issues that Cairo is working on to bolster the Paleostinian position. In recent years, Egypt tried to bring the two sides together through a series of meetings that resulted in agreements and understandings between them, but the application of these agreements quickly disintegrated on the ground due to obstacles on both sides. This has cast doubts that the current round of talks will yield any tangible results.

, but all these attempts stumbled on the ground.
Responding to whether reconciliation talks will succeed this time, professor of political science at al-Azhar University and former Paleostinian minister of culture Ibrahim Abrash was not optimistic. "Why would talks succeed in Algeria, when they didn’t for years since the start of divisions," Abrash told al-Ahram Weekly. "Changing locations will not make talks successful."
He continued, "No Arab party obstructed the success of reconciliation. The problem is with the Paleostinians and whether critical mass has been reached to end divisions. Algeria sent out the invitation, not the Paleostinian political parties or factions showing their determination for conciliation. If there was true conviction of conciliation it would happen on Paleostinian land without the need for mediators from outside."
Abrash added, "Algeria is proceeding cautiously and is listening to all viewpoints, trying to bridge the gap. If there is any progress, there could be an invitation for comprehensive dialogue. But if there are complications, Algeria will not venture in dialogues that will end in failure."
He believes that Paleostinian reconciliation has become a thorny issue, and a political class was formed since division in Gaza and the West Bank that is not interested in bridging the gap. Abrash asserted that to have genuine reconciliation, Egypt must be present. "It is a critical player on the Paleostinian issue and a key element in any reconciliation agreement."
After the last Israeli war on the Gaza Strip in May 2021, Egypt invited Paleostinian factions to Cairo to discuss divisions but the diverging agendas and perspectives of factions resulted in the failure of these efforts even before they started. In December 2021, Hamas said it presented its vision to end divisions to Egyptian Intelligence which is in charge of the Paleostinian reconciliation. This vision included overhauling the supreme national leadership of the Paleostinian Liberation Organisation (PLO) to include all forces, factions and national figures through elections. If elections are not possible for any reason, then there would be national agreement to form an interim national leadership for a specific period, as a transitional phase to prepare for general elections.
Hamas also wanted agreement on the national strategy of this phase, meaning consensus on a national political programme and the mechanisms of national, field and political action, and so on. Fatah refused, arguing that there is no need for new strategies and visions but instead to rely on what was already agreed on. It believes the main obstacle is implementing what was previously approved, rather than reaching new agreements.
Reconciliation was further complicated when Abbas issued a decree in early May 2021 cancelling parliamentary and presidential elections, as well as those for the Paleostinian National Council, because Israel refused to allow elections in occupied Jerusalem.
The PA justified the decision by saying that occupied Jerusalem is the capital of the Paleostinian state and elections cannot be held without Jerusalem. Hamas, on the other hand, viewed Abbas’s move as a way to evade elections and demanded that elections should be held — but without elaborating on its position regarding Jerusalem.
Other complications on the road to reconciliation is the boycott by some factions of a meeting of the Paleostinian National Council (PNC, the parliament for Paleostinians at home and overseas), as required by the charter of the PLO which is the highest executive authority in Paleostine from which the PA was born. The PNC must include representatives of all Paleostinian factions and forces, and some key figures.
Hamas and the Islamic Jihad said they would boycott this meeting, and the PFLP joined them. Meanwhile,
...back at the pie fight, Bella went down under the weight of the custard...
Fatah, which controls the PLO, is forging ahead with the PNC meeting slated for February.
The gap between Fatah and Hamas is growing, which complicates any mediation attempts to bridge their differences. Abbas wants Hamas to declare its commitment to the tenets of international legitimacy, which includes recognition of Israel, before the group can join any future Paleostinian government.
The PA chairman justified his position by expressing concern that if an agreement leads to Hamas — listed by EU and Britannia Hamas as a terrorist organization — joining a Paleostinian government, there could be harsh economic sanctions against this government because Hamas does not recognise international resolutions.
