Yep, as sure as the sun will rise in the east, Hamas and Fatah factions are getting ready for another "reconciliation" and ensuing hugfest in Gaza and the West Bank. And the result of that? More dead Israeli civilians, more than likely. It's as predictable as the seasons of the year - Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter....in the palestinian territories it is .... Hamas attack on Fatah, Fatah retaliation on Hamas, Standoff, Reconciliation. So, we are going into the annual reconciliation but fret not my friends, Hamas should kill another 10 to 20 Fatah members within the next four months.
Here's the details of this story from Breitbart:
It's interesting to note that these quotes found Abbas in Syria and Mashaal in Qatar - both sides are off trying to scrounge up money and support. No one in the world has any clue of what has happened to the billions of dollars that have flowed into palestine over the past five years. I mean, no one has any idea! These people want their own country and they cannot even manage billions of dollars of funding that is handed to them each and every year. No one has ever claimed that terrorists are exactly financially savvy.
Here's the details of this story from Breitbart:
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said Sunday the rift between his mainstream Palestinian faction and archrival Hamas must end. The Hamas leader, meanwhile, said the time is right for reconciliation.
"No one is happy to see the current divisions continuing," Abbas told reporters in Damascus following a meeting with Syrian President Bashar Assad. "No one would ever respect us if we go on," he added.
Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal seemed to echo those views Sunday. "We have reached a formula (for reconciliation) and we ask God to give it success," he said in Doha, Qatar.
He suggested that Fatah and Hamas release all political prisoners in Gaza and the West Bank and halt media campaigns meant to undermine each other to provide a "positive atmosphere" for Palestinian reconciliation.

Palestinian leaders call for reconciliation
DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) - Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said Sunday the rift between his mainstream Palestinian faction and archrival Hamas must end. The Hamas leader, meanwhile, said the time is right for reconciliation.
Fatah and Hamas have been at odds since the latter's violent takeover of the Gaza Strip in June 2007. Following the takeover, Abbas dissolved the Hamas-led government from his base in the West Bank and formed a new administration excluding the more radical group.
Abbas was in the Syrian capital for a two-day visit to brief the Syrian leadership, which holds enormous sway with Damascus-based Palestinian groups including Hamas, on Palestinian reconciliation efforts.
"No one is happy to see the current divisions continuing," Abbas told reporters in Damascus following a meeting with Syrian President Bashar Assad. "No one would ever respect us if we go on," he added.
He said upon his arrival in Syria Saturday that Egyptian mediation had reached an advanced stage. He said there will be a declaration in Cairo followed by a meeting with all Palestinian factions, but did not give details.
Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal seemed to echo those views Sunday. "We have reached a formula (for reconciliation) and we ask God to give it success," he said in Doha, Qatar.
He suggested that Fatah and Hamas release all political prisoners in Gaza and the West Bank and halt media campaigns meant to undermine each other to provide a "positive atmosphere" for Palestinian reconciliation.
Mashaal, who accused the United States of obstructing past efforts at reconciliation, said the time is now right because the Americans and Israelis were busy with internal problems. "This is an opportunity God has given us," he said.
Despite the apparent progress made in Egypt, Abbas had no plans to meet with Hamas officials during his Syria visit.
