Hamas Agrees (Kinda) To Egyptian Plan To Unite Palestinian Forces


Hamas has tentatively agreed to an Egyptian plan to resolve differences between the terrorist organization and their terror brother, Fatah. But of course, nothing is quite good enough for Hamas so they have some reservations. My prediction for the long term success of this planned truce? ZERO.

Here's the details from Breitbart:


Hamas tentatively agreed on Tuesday to an Egyptian proposal for reconciliation between the Islamist movement and the rival Fatah faction of Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas.
"We will agree to the draft of the agreement and will not reject it, but there needs to be guarantees that what is agreed upon will be implemented," Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhum told AFP.
"Hamas will work towards the success of the Egyptian effort to reach a national reconciliation that protects our principles, preserves our blood and unites our people," he said.
But he said Hamas would request some changes.
"The draft contains positive elements, but also has some points that need to be modified and some points that need clarification from the Egyptian leadership."
I truly don't understand why Fatah doesn't just sit back and let Hamas finally drive the Gaza Strip situation totally into the ground. The economic disaster in Gaza is on the hands of Hamas and given enough time, the whole place should just grind to a complete halt.


Hamas agrees to Egypt plan for Palestinian unity

The two main Palestinian movements have been bitterly divided since Hamas drove Abbas's security forces from the Gaza Strip in a week of fierce street clashes in June 2007, cleaving the territories into hostile rival camps.
Representatives from both sides have been invited to meet in Cairo on November 9 to discuss the Egyptian plan, which is aimed at restoring unity and resolving a looming constitutional crisis that threatens to deepen the internal rift.

Fatah, Hamas ?? does it matter, they are all terrorists, thugs and murderers. Makes no difference to me, I like 'em better dead.
