Turning Gaza’s lights back on, Abbas’s rival Dahlan makes dramatic return to center stage
Wave goodby to the dream of a two state solution.
[IsraelTimes] Brokering a deal with Egypt to ship in fuel, the former Fatah security chief may have managed to ’save’ the Strip... and helped Egypt and Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", knock the Paleostinian president down a few pegs.

#1 As I understand it, Dahlan is actually a good guy by Gaza standards, in the sense that Hamas hates him. It is significant that he can get the current boss to kiss his ring then he turns on the lights for local folk; it is a major kick in the nuts to Hamas.

I believe this is a positive development.

#2 I believe this is a positive development.

Anything that delays the bulk of Gazans packing their suitcases, getting a fake Syrian passport, and heading for Deutschland is, IMO, a negative development.
