[IsraelTimes] Long-term ceasefire between Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, and Israel would tear Gazoo away from West Bank for good, claims Paleostinian communist party official
Hamas is about to sign a "comprehensive" agreement with Israel for the lifting of an eight-year blockade placed on the Gazoo Strip in return for a long-term ceasefire, a senior Turkish official said on Sunday.
| Why is a Turkish official announcing this? |
But the agreement is facing domestic opposition from without, as Paleostinian factions consider it a potential danger to the political unity of Gazoo and the West Bank as stipulated by the Oslo Accords.
| What political unity? The joint government of technocrats fell apart without ever having actually come together, and that's just between Hamas and Fatah, a.k.a. the Palestinian Authority. Within each of the Palestinian territories even more factions contend with guile and violence against those running things. |
In an interview with Hamas daily al-Resalah, Yasin Aktay, an adviser to Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and deputy chairman of the ruling Justice and Development Party, said that Hamas's political leader Khaled Mashaal came to Ankara last week to update the Turkish leadership on the details of an agreement reached with Israel and mediated by former British prime minister Tony Blair. |
