Hamas and Fatah have been in conflict for over four years over Palestine and have finally brokered a reconciliation deal in hopes of bringing peace to the region. Hamas has been in power in Gaza since 2007 and Fatah control of the West Bank. This deal which was put together under Egypt's supervision seeks to end violence and conflict in the Middle East region. This deal will also increase the likelihood of a legitimate Palestinian state. Israel has historically been against a reconciliation deal between Hamas and Fatah and is not in support of this treaty. Under the deal, an interim government will be formed and a date will be set for election. It is interesting to watch this all unfold because Hamas is yet to recognize Israel right to exist as a state whiles Fatah is tolerant of Israel.

I think that this is a good thing in that it would strengthen the peace in the area. It is dissapointing that Isreal is against this treaty, even though Fata is tolerant of Isreal. I agree with Selorm in that it would be interesting to see how this turns out, especially to see if Hamas changes its position.

I agree. This is much needed unity. I doubt anyone will change position though..

ReplyDeleteI think that this is an important step to either lessening the violence or hopefully ending it. I think it show unity and if they can work together like this then maybe Palestine can be recognized as a separate nation and respect Israel right as a nation as well.
