The Palestinian Authority’s Unity Deal

11 02 2012

This past week there was an article in the New York Times about the new deal between the  Fatah and Hamas partys for reconciliation. This deal could really threaten any further peace talks because Israel refuses to deal with Hamas, a terrorist organization, that does not recognize Israel’s right to exist and is bent on its destruction. The deal was brokered by the Emir of Qatar, and the results of a united Palestinian Authority remain to be seen.
