| [Ynet] Stagnating statehood bid and Gazoo reconstruction could direct next wave of violence 'at the PA before it is directed at Israel,' says analyst. The Paleostinian unity government that was meant to put an end to the long-time rivalry between the Islamist Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, movement, which controls Gazoo, and the Fatah movement, in charge in the West Bank, has expired, say Hamas leaders. That government was meant to present a unified Paleostinian front, and dispel Israel?s argument that there is no need to resume peace talks because any deal Israel strikes with Fatah would not be honored by Hamas, which the US and Israel see as a terrorist organization. With Israeli-Paleostinian peace talks frozen and a wave of attacks against Israelis hardening attitudes, as well as Israel?s announcement this week that it will hold new elections in March, Paleostinians are angry that their drive toward an independent state seems to be stagnating. In addition, little has been done to rebuild the Gazoo Strip, after hundreds of Israeli air strikes caused widespread damage to thousands of homes in Gazoo during last summer?s fighting between Israel and Hamas. |
