Abbas, head of the rival Fatah faction, formally signed a formal unity agreement with Hamas in May, but it quickly became nothing more than a ceremonial act following disagreements.

They cannot live in peace with the Israeli’s because they cannot live in peace with each other.

They would rather murder and kill than eat when they are hungry. It’s the nature of the beast. Like weasels they kill for the fun of it.
