Abbas and Meshal to meet on Wednesday in Cairo
In a development that aims to end the division between Hamas and Fatah, President Mahmoud Abbas and Chief of Hamas political Bureau agreed to meet on Wednesday in Cairo. Two important points that are expected to be declared on this day will be related to the coming Palestinian elections and the formation of a temporary Palestinian government.
Sources from Hamas stated in the Media that there is an agreement that the next Palestinian government will be located in Gaza and the new Prime Minister is expected to be from Gaza. Such a move means that current Prime Minister Salam Fayyad will have to resign and this would affect on the funds
Why a Palestinian State at September?
A lot of discussions are taking place these days between the Palestinians about the Palestinian state that the PLO wants to ask for at September from the United Nations General Assembly and Security Council.
Many do not understand what are the outcomes of such an International recognition of a Palestinian state while others argue about the 1967 borders that this possible recognition will take as the borders of the Palestinian state. I read a lot of what the young Palestinians have been writing and listen to many talking about their frustration.
After achieving Unity…a Palestinian state by August?
Following the declaration of an agreement between Fatah and Hamas, the Israeli government started an international campaign against the Palestinian [singlepic id=534 w=320 h=240 float=right]authority and its decision to reach an understanding with Hamas.
Following Prime Minister Netanyahu threats that demanded from President Mahmoud Abbas to choose between peace with Hamas and peace with Israel, President Shimon Perez considered Abbas agreement with Hamas an action that destroys any opportunity to reach peace in the region. Defense Minister Ehud Barak told the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon that unless Hamas recognizes Israel and the Joint Palestinian government accepts the Quartet’s
The Palestinian Unity is achieved…Netanyahu is lost
It was a surprise that the Palestinian people was waiting for since a long time and it brought back the self-confidence which both the Palestinian people and [singlepic id=533 w=320 h=240 float=right]leadership needed for the next stage. Fatah and Hamas declared yesterday a mutual agreement to end a division that is considered the longest and bloodiest between Palestinians. The new Egyptian leadership invested a lot in reaching the agreement that brought the Palestinian case back on the agenda of the International community and specifically Israel and the American government.
Fatah and Hamas
There is no region of the World more talked about in the media than the Middle East and even more so of the countries of Israel and Palestine. It is true that [singlepic id=494 w=320 h=240 float=right]Palestine has not been recognized yet as a country, but this is political semantic, and this article is trying to pull away from that and only iterate the facts.
Most newspapers or TV channel concentrate solely on the demands of the parties involved; but never have I seen anyone put down on the table all the elements of the Conflict and in doing so, allowing the Public to better understand what is at stake.
Israel’s Policy…War Industry?
Since his first day in office and until this moment Prime Minister Benyamin [singlepic id=139 w=320 h=240 float=right] Netanyahu continues to push Israel into war. The failure and weakness which the Israeli government is suffering from grows every day. The question is whether today’s circumstances are like the old days or will Israel find itself in war because of its government policy and get itself involved in a battle which will not be similar to its former confrontations?
The Palestinian Case and Neo – Imperialism
The Palestinian authority plan to build new associations in order to empower its control and economy faces a lot of obstacles in its way to [singlepic id=138 w=320 h=240 float=right] success. Not only that some criticize the plan itself because of a lack of political program which should come with it but it faces an anti Israeli plan which tries to prevent any improvement in it.

The Israeli Mossad and…Assassinations

According to Dubai police, the 11 assassins left Dubai and are currently under an international hunt to try to catch them.
Other News sources talked about two men who were handed from Jordan to Dubai because they are suspected of being involved in the assassination. One of them is said to be a security officer in the Palestinian authorities. A spokesman of President Mahmoud Abbas denied the accusations and claimed that Hamas is suffering from serious security breaches.
