The Next Round between the Brothers
Today the Palestinian intelligence declared that they captured an armed Hamas group that was planning to launch chaotic actions in Hebron in the West Bank. The Mahmoud Abbas administration considered this action a serious incident that comes in the time they are trying to start a new round of negotiations with Hamas’ leaders in Egypt. The Hamas leadership denied any relation to this group and even accused the Palestinian intelligence of faking videos and papers that relates these people to Hamas.
On the other Hand the Egyptian efforts are still being made to bring both Fatah and Hamas leaders to a new round of negotiations that would bring out a new united national government and an agreement that ends the ongoing crisis between the two parties. Analyzing the demands, statements, and actions of both Fatah and Hamas, one can see that it is almost impossible to join the two parties in one government. The fact is that the bases of the crisis between the two is not only a race on taking control of the Palestinian occupied lands but indeed a huge difference in the beliefs, political program, agenda, and goals to be achieved.
Today the Hamas known leader Khaled Mesha’al stated in the Jerusalem international conference that Jerusalem will never be liberated through negotiations and peace hopes. In Gaza Hamas stated that it is cooperating with the Egyptian authorities to try to reach an agreement with Fatah and to create a new project to liberate the occupied lands that differs from the “American and Zionist Projects”. This means that until today Hamas considers Fatah’s and Mahmoud Abbas’ project American and Zionist. On the other hand Fatah leadership considers Hamas as a rioting militia that only wants to pull the Palestinian case and make it a tool in the hands of the Iranian and other countries project in the Middle East.
All of these differences come from the different ideologies that the both parties have. Fatah and Hamas had already gone into negotiations in Saudi Arabia and swore to maintain their unity although they disagree with each other but they couldn’t. The question is whether they could swear again and make it happen in Cairo this time for the sake of the coming Palestinian generation that almost forgot their real duties and case and became followers and students of their old Masters that can’t leave their government chairs.
