Hanging By A Thread
The current "truce" in Gaza is hanging by a thread. 05:33 Feb 01, '07I wonder if the Hamas folks will get mad enough to restart the fight? In any case it appears that some residents of Gaza have had enough. Hundreds of Palestinian residents in Gaza city took part today in an anti-infighting protest, in which they called for ending all forms of internal violence.Interesting that they think a "national unity" government will fix their situation. Some people might disagree. Washington - The United States does not expect a change in the position of the Quartet toward Hamas, a senior State Department official said yesterday in light of reports of a Russian intention to raise current policy for debate in the Quartet meeting in Washington tomorrow.What we have is two rival gangs shooting it out for control of turf. National unity would require Hamas to give ground in Gaza and Fatah to give ground in the West Bank. I do not expect it to happen. Why? There is no honor among thieves and the thieves know it.
