Palestinians Still a Long Way from Real Reconciliation
(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel - Both Fatah and Hamas have a knack for reneging on signed agreements with one another. There is still a long way to go toward true reconciliation among the Palestinians, including new elections, the formation of a new government and the names of candidates for ministers due to be published within five weeks. Fatah and Hamas reached understandings only on the relatively easy items: a formal declaration of reconciliation and an outline for the general framework of elections. They have yet to touch on the more controversial issues, such as how to unify their security forces, what form the new national institutions will take, and what joint course of action should be adopted vis-a-vis Israel.
