Al Jazeera English - Middle East - Palestinian rivals end unity talks


Rival Palestinian factions Hamas and Fatah have concluded Egyptian-mediated talks without reaching an agreement on forming a unity government.

The talks in Cairo, aimed at reaching a unity deal before elections in 2010, came to a close on Tuesday, with the two factions agreeing to meet again on May 16.

Most international powers say they will only deal with a Palestinian government that recognises Israel, a concession that Hamas, or the Islamic Resistance Movement, is unwilling to make.

Please note that the sentence "Most international powers say they will only deal with..." means that there is no aid to Gaza, especially rebuilding aid if such a government is not formed. From the other side a condition of accepting such a government of national unity is to accept the existence of the state of Israel (as is, i.e. apartheid racist state). Fatah are in my opinion already since a long time playing the cards of Israel. Hamas has either to accept this and thus the whole war of Gaza and the defiance for nothing, or refuse and let Gaza's people remain under siege and suffering of hunger, etc. This is called international justice by the way
