Hamas Has To Face The...Duet?

The Astute Bloggers links to an article from Haaretz that implies that just as Israel has to deal with pressure from the West, Hamas--in its new role as a 'legitimate' government has to deal with pressure of its own:

Qatar on Tuesday presented the leaders of Hamas and Fatah with a plan for a new Palestinian unity government, which would accept international demands on the recognition of Israel, renunciation of violence and compliance with previously signed interim accords.

...Egypt threatened Meshal that if an agreement for prisoner release is not reached by the end of Ramadan - the Muslim month of fast that ends October 22 - the Hamas leader would be held responsible for a wide-scale Israeli military attack in the Gaza Strip.
