Hamas, Fatah agree Palestinian Authority to take control of Gaza

Palestinian factions Hamas and Fatah reached an agreement on Thursday by which the Palestinian Authority will take control over the Gaza Strip. The deal also includes Hamas' consent for a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders, according to a Fatah official.

Hassin Alsheikh, a negotiator on the Fatah team, told Haaretz that the Palestinian Authority will take responsibility for the reconstruction of the Strip as well as for manning the Gaza crossings "effective immediately."

He added that Hamas also agreed to support Palestinian President Abbas' plan for establishing a state within the '67 borders.

Hamas' negotiator Musa Abu Marzouk and Fatah's Azzam Ahmed told reporters at a joint press conference in Cairo that the factions agreed to promote any decision that will aid the Palestinian unity government, and that a joint committee will supervise the agreement's implementation and will rule on any disagreement.

Officials from the rival groups were meeting in Cairo to try to overcome their differences and strengthen their hand for talks with Israel slated for late next month. [...]

No Negotiating with this Lying terrorist who was an organizer of the Munich Massacre Abu the Monkey Abbas
Negotiations with a terrorist like Abbas isn’t done by other countries, so why should Israel?

- 20 years of lies and no concessions , no charter change, continued incitement
- PLO paid convicted killers and they family a minimum of $25k to kill Israeli civilians
Thereafter when convicted release of murderers was more important to PLO than making peace.
No we won’t release killers ever again. You kill Jews your either put to death of in jail for the rest of your life.
- The two Lefties Olmert and Barak offered the store and PLO turned it down, Israel can’t any longer offer what PLO was once offered and turned down. So its likely new negotiations would be even less fruitful
- Idiots like Livni have failed, they won’t be the ones negotiating because they were naive and gullible and proved
to give too much for nothing in return.
- Israel will never again be pressured to give the squatters anything.
_ Squatters must first pay up all past due electric and water bills

Nobody trusts Abbas

- He got his killers set free, then he went to join UN organizations in violation of their agreeing to the Peace Process, then he formed a Unity government with yet another terrorist organization Ham@ss
- Abbas has blood on his hands the 3 boys were killed in his territory and he didn’t lift his pinky to help Israel stop
the boys murder. Abbas has tens of thousands of police and soldiers and he is as much a collaberator with Hamas in the Boys murders as anyone.

There is no peace partner, and I don’t care what the world says THERE IS NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT. All this proved is that its stupid, dumb and moronic to ever negotiate with terrorists
