Is Reconciliation between Hamas and the Palestinian Authority Possible?
(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Pinhas Inbari - One of the major obstacles to implementing the Hamas-Fatah reconciliation is the Palestinian Authority's difficulty in paying government workers' salaries. Saudi Arabia rejected PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas' request to finance the reconciliation. Qatar is prepared to do so, but Abbas cannot comply because of the rift between Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Abbas does not want Abu Dhabi's money because it comes via his enemy in Fatah, Muhammad Dahlan.
