Hamas: Arafat-Qurei agreement foils internal fighting
2004-07-29
Posted by:Fred

#1  Mousa Abu Marzoq, Hamas politburo member, welcomed on Wednesday the agreement between President Yasser Arafat and his Premier, Ahmad Qurei to end the government crisis. “ The agreement foiled an Israeli attempt to use the crisis to start a civil war, in particular between Hamas and Fateh,” Hamas official told journalists at his office in Damascus, Syria.

First, I'm sure Gaza will just be a love-fest now that the two chumps have reconciled.

Second, I would think that Israel would be very much inconvenienced by a Gaza Civil War. Don't some Israeli companies use labor from Gaza? Additionally, all the chunks of people flying around will attract all the flies from Egypt.
