good that Abbas is strengthening ties with Turkey, but RECONCILIATION/UNITY of the Palestinian people is far more important at this time! so far, there's been nothing but excuses (e.g. egypt's conflict, hamas celebration, now Abbas international tour) despite the talk to commit. and time is ticking away....day after day after day Pals are still NOT unified. this leaves all Pals dangerously vulnerable. izrahell knows this all too well and they will take criminal advantage of it very soon, again.
