Hamas keen to implement unity deal, spokesman says
Published Sunday 17/03/2013 14:57
GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said Sunday that the Islamist group is working hard to implement a reconciliation deal with rival faction Fatah.

"If the elections were held in a state of tension, it would lead to more division within the Palestinian factions," Abu Zuhri said, adding that conditions in the West Bank are not ready for elections due to the practices of Israeli authorities.

It seems that Hamas & Fatah has a habit of talking about reconciliation but no guts to go ahead. How can they achieve peace with the Israel when they can't even decide to unite amongst themselves. Israel is taking advantage of disunity amongst Palestinians thus they are handing them on a plate.

I say again - talk is cheap. Let's see signatures and implementation.

How can the Palestinians reconcile when the US and EU have made it clear they will withdraw all support money if Hamas is included in a government? And when the PA keeps arresting Hamas members, probably at the behest of the Israelis?

3., It means Hamas needs to make fundamental moves away from terrorism to make this work. Courage is in short supply on both sides of this unity agreement, but courage will be required to make it work.

-a- Hamas will never make even minor "moves away from terrorism", much less "fundamental" moves, while Israel exists, and -b- "Hamas is keen to" only take over the West Bank, so it can easily fire rockets at Israel's cities, and more effectively target Israel's civilians, and they probably will NOT even deny it, though they prefer to call it "Unity" !!
