Hamas' Stocktaking and Its Implications
[JCPA-Hebrew] Jonathan D. Halevi - On July 15, 2007, Al-Hakika al-Dawlya published a "secret report" by Hamas to the leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood, its parent movement, reviewing the Hamas takeover of Gaza. The report emphasizes the message that there is no dispute with Abbas but rather with the security forces headed by Muhammad Dahlan, and that Hamas is prepared for dialogue with Fatah to establish a unity government or technocratic government. Hamas made a strategic error with its military takeover in Gaza, since it became the common enemy of Israel and Fatah. Even though Fatah is a bitter enemy of Israel, Israel has an opportunity to repair the error of its unilateral disengagement and help rehabilitate the PA as a ruling force in the West Bank.
