Setting up the grounds to include Hamas in the leadership of the PA in a coalition of some sort.
They want to include hamas in the west bank’s government, because that worked so well in Gaza /s
Can someone explain how a prime minister has such little influence, I almost never hear about him. But abbas, I hear about every day
“Not all Palestinians are Hamas”
PLO: “Yet”
Is this a good or a bad thing?
Abu Mazen hinges alot on the Paris Summit
So that they can what? Set in stone their “right” to launch attacks on civilians?
Can someone in the know explain what he’s angling for? Merging with a terror statelet that’s a) at war with someone you at least pretend to want to get along with, b) losing badly, and c) more popular domestically than you seems to me a bad idea. Not so much a “What could possibly go wrong” as “Is there anything at all that could possibly go right” situation.
JERUSALEM (AP) — Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh said Monday his government is resigning, in a move that could open the door to U.S.-backed reforms in the Palestinian Authority.
President Mahmoud Abbas must still decide whether he accepts Shtayyeh and his government’s resignation. But the move signals a willingness by the Western-backed Palestinian leadership to accept shake-up that might usher in reforms seen as necessary to revitalize the Palestinian Authority.
The U.S. wants a reformed Palestinian Authority to govern Gaza once the war is over. But many obstacles remain to making that vision a reality.
“The next stage and its challenges require new governmental and political arrangements that take into account the new reality in the Gaza Strip,” Shtayyeh said at a Cabinet meeting.
Abbas is expected to choose Mohammad Mustafa, chairman of the Palestine Investment Fund, as the next prime minister.
Who cares? Wake me up when Abbas submits his resignation to the Palestinian people.
Isn’t Hamas their Leader?
If this causes what I think it will, this is really really bad.
