New PA Government Creates a Problem for Israel
[Ha'aretz] Avi Issacharoff - The new Palestinian unity government will be headed by Hamas' Ismail Haniyeh. It will not recognize Israel and does not pretend to meet the Quartet's conditions. Yet at the same time, Hamas will not have a majority in the cabinet. The finance minister-designate, Salem Fayad, is the White House's darling. The foreign minister-designate, academic Ziad Abu Amar, has lectured at many American universities and does not have extremist positions on Israel.
