New Palestinian Unity Government United in Hatred of Israel
(Washington Times) Avi Dichter - Hamas joined with Abbas' Fatah Party for the sole aim of building terrorist infrastructure in the West Bank, on the hills overlooking Jerusalem. A primary goal of Hamas is to rebuild the West Bank terrorist network that Israeli security services have dismantled over the past decade. If Hamas is allowed to expand into the West Bank, it will create another terrorist base - this time bordering Jerusalem, Ben-Gurion Airport, and Israel's central Tel Aviv region. Israel must prevent this at all costs. The Jewish state cannot allow such reckless danger posed to innocent Israelis and Palestinians. For any chance of peace, Israel and the PA must unite to destroy Hamas' military capabilities in Gaza rather than accept a Hamas expansion into the West Bank. The writer, a former director of the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) and Minister of Internal Security, is a current Israeli Knesset member (Kadima).
