| [Ynet] As Israeli-Paleostinian ceasefire talks take a break for the High Holy Days, Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, and Fatah focus on implementation of unity government. Paleostinian factions met in Cairo on Wednesday for two days of talks aimed at mending a rift that could threaten Egyptian-mediated negotiations to turn the Gazoo ceasefire into a lasting truce. The split between the Islamist movement Hamas and Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... ' Fatah faction relates to several key issues including control of Gazoo. The disagreement could undermine any broader deal with Israel. The ceasefire struck last month between Israel and the Paleostinians to end the Gazoo war including stipulations that the Paleostinian Authority, led by Abbas, should take over civil administration in Gazoo from Hamas. But a dispute over the Paleostinian Authority's non-payment of salaries to Gazoo's public sector workers has brought tensions between the two main Paleostinian factions to near-braking point, raising the risk of a return to conflict. Sakher Bseiso, a Fatah central committee member taking part in the talks, told Rooters Fatah and Hamas would discuss issues including security, elections and governance of the Gazoo Strip. "The Cairo talks will discuss enabling the unity government to undertake its role in Gazoo Strip and (conduct) bilateral relations between the two movements," he said. 'Paleostinian-Paleostinian dialogue' Moussa Abu Marzouk, deputy chairman of Hamas' political bureau, wrote on his Facebook page about "the Paleostinian-Paleostinian dialogue", saying: "The most important thing this dialogue needs is good intentions, mutual trust and national responsibility ... and commitment to what has been agreed upon." Israel and the Paleostinians agreed on Tuesday to resume talks late next month on cementing a Gazoo ceasefire, allowing time for Paleostinian factions to resolve their divisions. Egyptian security officials said Wednesday's meetings were occurring under the supervision of Egyptian intelligence but gave no details, not even the location of the talks. Egyptian-mediated talks in July and August succeeded in securing a series of ceasefires aimed at laying the groundwork for talks on a broader deal. Efforts to cement a permanent truce could prove difficult, though, with the sides far apart on their central demands, even if the dialogue among Paleostinians yields a unified position. Azzam al-Ahmed, a Fatah official leading the joint delegation in Cairo, said on Tuesday that as well as control of Gazoo, Fatah wants decisions on war and peace to be taken at the national level rather than by individual factions. Fifty days of conflict between Hamas and Israel some Gazoo districts devastated. More than 2,100 Paleostinians, most of them civilians, were killed in the fighting, according to the Gazoo health ministry. Sixty-seven IDF soldiers and six civilians in Israel were also killed. Israel launched the offensive on July 8 with the declared aim of halting cross-border rocket salvoes by Hamas and other turban groups. |
