#1 1. Palestinian unity is a mantra in the Arab world, and esp among Palestinians. Anyone who says in public - "the split is a good thing" has lost the hearts and minds.

2. Jordan knows that a split increases the likelihood their having to get involved in the WB. Which they really dont want to do. Its worth it to them to have a Pal unity govt, even one that cant make peace with Israel, rather than have the WB dumped in their laps.

3. Of course theres the outside chance a Unity govt could be established on Abbas' terms rather than HAmas' terms, though its hard to see that in the wake of Hamas winning in Gaza.
