| Hamas, Fatah Announce Return Of Unity Government To Gaza | |
| 2014-09-26 | |
"Fatah and Hamas have reached a comprehensive agreement for the unity government to return to the Gazoo Strip," Jibril Rajoub of Fatah told AFP. Senior Hamas official Moussa Abu Marzouk and Fatah's head of delegation, Azam al-Ahmad, confirmed that an agreement had been reached. Meanwhile, ...back at the barn, Bossy had come up with a new idea, one that didn't involve kerosene... a senior Paleostinian official said President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... 's government, which runs the West Bank, will press forward with a United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... bid to set a deadline for Israel to end its occupation of lands captured in the 1967 war, after efforts to enlist American support for the effort ran aground. "Work with the Americans about the possibility of joint action in the Security Council has reached an impasse," said chief Paleostinian negotiator Saeb Erekat ...negotiated the Oslo Accords with Israel. He has been chief Paleostinian negotiator since 1995. He is currently negotiating with Israel to establish a de jure Paleostinian state... , adding that he expects the Paleostinian delegation in New York to propose a UN resolution on the issue within three weeks. The purpose of the resolution is to set the groundwork for the formal establishment of a Paleostinian state. The Paleostinian rivals had set up a unity government of independents in June but it never took hold, with PA President Abbas accusing Hamas of running a "parallel" administration as de facto ruler in the Gazoo Strip. Hamas in turn accuses Abbas's Paleostinian Authority, headquartered in Ramallah, of not paying its 45,000 employees in Gazoo. The two-day talks, which began on Wednesday, come after a joint Paleostinian delegation and Israel agreed to resume separate indirect talks in late October to thrash out a lasting truce after this summer's 50-day Gazoo war between Hamas and Israel. Officials said the two Paleostinian factions also agreed that the Paleostinian Authority will manage Gazoo crossings to allow construction material and humanitarian aid to pass ahead of an international donor conference in October. The talks between the two sides were crucial for internal Paleostinian divisions to be set aside and to agree on a unified strategy during talks with Israeli negotiators in October. Under Egyptian mediation, Israel and the Paleostinians agreed on August 26 to a ceasefire that ended the July-August war which claimed the lives of over 2,000 Paleostinians -- half of them combatants, Israel says -- and 72 Israelis, including a four-year-old child. The conflict ended with an agreement to hold future talks on Paleostinian demands to end an eight-year blockade of Gazoo -- imposed by Israel and Egypt mainly to prevent weapons smuggling --and exchange prisoners in Israeli jails for the remains of two Israeli soldiers killed in Gazoo. | |
