Peace Talks Off as Israel Waits to See If Hamas and Fatah Unite
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - The Israeli-Palestinian talks held in Jordan last month ended without progress, and now Jerusalem is waiting to see whether the Hamas-Fatah agreement signed in Doha will fall through before deciding what to do next, an Israeli diplomatic source said Sunday. Israel would not deal with a PA government under Hamas' sway, even if the ministers were "technocrats" and not Hamas members, the source said. The source added that while the idea of the talks in Jordan was to generate a positive dynamic and create confidence, the positions put forth by the Palestinians "harmed confidence," and that no Israeli government could "accept them."
