| [Iran Press TV] Renewed hope for Paleostinians after Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, and Fatah reached an initial agreement to set up a unity government. The breakthrough came on Wednesday in the Egyptian capital, Cairo following intensive dialogue. The initial understanding paves the way for the formation of a transitional unity government. The move also means fresh elections will be held within months. An exact date for the polls has yet to be set. The reconciliation ends more than four years of division within the Paleostinian political landscape. Negotiations between Israel and the Paleostinian Authority have been another source of friction. On Friday, Hamas called on the Paleostine Liberation Organization to rescind its recognition of Israel. The division between the factions emerged in June 2007, some18 months after Hamas was democratically elected and beat Fatah in parliamentary elections in 2006. Following some differences, Hamas took control of the Gazoo Strip. Paleostinians here say unity is indispensable, no matter how serious the division between the factions may seem. Analysts believe that the road to reconciliation and true unity has been laden with obstacles, while Israel and the United States haven't made things any easier. Paleostinians have seen enough division and disagreement. In the end, it's up to the Paleostinian people to determine their destiny, and now they are sure what they want, and that is unity. Many here believe that Paleostinian national unity and the strategic changes in the region are the best opportunities for the ultimate liberation of Paleostine. |
