Hamas, Fatah fail to bridge differences
Hamas and the other parliamentary blocs in the Palestinian Legislative Council have failed at the end of a meeting in Gaza to agree on a common programme for a Palestinian government, Aljazeera reports.
| Couldn't figure how to split the boodle, huh? |
| Couldn't even get past the traditional Cursing of the Moustaches. |
Fatah representative in the dialogue, Rudwan al-Akhras, said on Wednesday - the fourth day of inconclusive coalition talks in Gaza - that the gap with Hamas' position was still big.
| "Dey want way too big a cut! Dey got da numbers, dey got da dockyards. Dey want da hookers and da booze, too? I don't t'ink so!" |
Aljazeera reported quoting him that all the presentations and amendments in the revised Hamas offer did not meet the minimum demands of Fatah for joining a Hamas-led government. "I do not see any encouraging signals that we will be able to reach an agreement over the programme to form a joint government between the factions," Reuters quoted al-Akhras as saying.
