PA has to free Hamas prisoners or no reconciliation
Hamas said on Sunday that reconciliation talks with Fatah would not succeed unless the Palestinian Authority releases hundreds of Hamas supporters who are being held without trial in its West Bank jails.
So shoot each of them in the foot and let them loose ...
The announcement came after the Egyptians invited representatives of Hamas and Fatah to meet in Cairo on February 24 for talks aimed at ending the ongoing power struggle between the two parties. The Egyptians are hoping the talks will lead to the establishment of a Hamas-Fatah unity government.

A PA official told The Jerusalem Post over the weekend that the new US administration has given a green light for holding the reconciliation talks. He pointed out that the previous US administration had been totally opposed to such talks.
