Analyst: There Will Never Be Palestinian Reconciliation
(Gulf News-Dubai) Nasouh Nazzal - Reconciliation is a method for the Palestinian leadership to pressure Israel, said Dr. Abdul Sattar Qasem, who heads the Political Science Department at Al Najah University in Nablus in the West Bank. "The Ramallah leadership uses this tactic as a negotiating tool to press Israel and the U.S. Administration, knowing that reconciliation with Hamas will have major implications for the entire peace process....Fatah and the Ramallah government have used this tactic several times in the past." "Neither Fatah nor Hamas is serious about Palestinian reconciliation," he maintained.
