In a Palestinian Unity Government, Hamas Wins
[Jerusalem Post] Khaled Abu Toameh - Reconciliation talks are slated to be launched in Cairo this week between Hamas and Fatah on the formation of a new Palestinian unity government. Both Hamas and Fatah realize that the only way to persuade the international community to contribute to the reconstruction work in Gaza is to form a unity government. A new Palestinian unity government would mean victory for Hamas, which would not be required to make any major political concessions, while its participation in a unity government would turn it into a legitimate and internationally recognized player in the Palestinian arena.
