 Because that's all the Paleos are lacking, yup, just a little unity. | CAIRO - Egypt and Jordan are trying to convince the Palestinian factions to form a national unity government, the Egyptian foreign minister told a news conference with his Jordanian counterpart Wednesday. The two countries are pushing the Palestinian factions towards ‘an internal accord for the formation of a government of technocrats or a government of national unity,’ Ahmed Abul Gheit said.
The conference came during a visit by JordanÂ’s King Abdullah II to Cairo to discuss regional developments with Egyptian President for Life Hosni Mubarak, especially the growing conflict between Palestinian factions.
‘There is a Palestinian government that should be respected and that must be respected,’ said Abul Gheit, while stating that the authority of Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas should be respected as well.
