| Coalition with Hamas will recognize Israel, Abbas tells Kerry |
| 2014-04-26 |
[JPOST] On a phone call with US Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you knowKerry Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat,conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State... Thursday evening, Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... said that a unity government between Fatah and Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, would renounce violence and recognize the state of Israel. Abbas insisted that "any government that is formed will be his government and represent his policies," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki told news hounds of their phone call. Psaki repeated, however, that no action had yet been taken to form such a government - that multiple attempts to unify the two parties have been made in the past, to no avail. Historically, Hamas has refused to adopt either of those principles. The Islamic Resistance Front has codified its intention to destroy Israel in its charter, and is listed by the United States, European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... and Israel as a terrorist organization. For US aid to continue to the Paleostinian Authority, appropriations law from Congress requires "all ministers" in a power-sharing government that includes Hamas declare Israel's right to exist, renounce violence and accept previous agreements between Israel and the PLO. Should a unity government form, Abbas' commitment to Kerry would require Hamas leadership publicly denounce their own charter. "This is a moment of transition, and part of the process," Psaki said of the state of the talks, now suspended by Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu's cabinet after the Paleostinians announced reconciliation. "We're in a holding pattern where parties need to figure out what's next." |

| #2 "would renounce violence and recognize the state of Israel" During the phone call, snickering and catcalls could be heard in the background. |

| #1 "We're in a holding pattern where parties need to figure out what's next." It took nearly six years but the O-Team finally agreed on the ‘Obama Foreign Policy Doctrine’. |
