Palestinian Unity Government???

It looks like Abbas will not insist on the recognition of Israel. A sad moment for the Palestinians.

A PALESTINIAN national unity government would be announced in the coming 10 days, a spokesman for president Mahmoud Abbas said today.

The announcement followed weeks of wrangling between the ruling Hamas movement and his Fatah party

"Meetings between president Mahmud Abbas and prime minister Ismail Haniya, including some which took place today, have been productive and positive,'' spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeina said.

"We expect to announce a national unity government in the coming 10 days.''

The purpose of this so-called Unity government will be to get as much international aid as possible. It's just a cynical attempt to get money....and Hamas will effectively take over Fatah....
