Why Are Hamas And Fatah Having A Trial Separation?

I posted earlier this week that in an interview with Ma'an Hamas has told Abbas not to bother coming to Gaza--because he may get stoned (by Gazans).

According to Al Ahram's version of the interview, however, Hamas has told their good friends in Fatah that none of them should come into Gaza:

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will not be able to visit the Gaza Strip soon, as the security situation is still fragile, Hamas foreign policy chief Mahmoud Al-Zahar said on Wednesday.

Zahar added in an interview with Maan Palestinian News Agency that the Palestinian faction has succeeded in reaching political reconciliation; however there is no progress on the social reconciliation between the big families in Gaza and the West Bank.

“We will have to work on reconciliation sessions between the well-known families in the West Bank and Gaza
that would make the security more stable than now” Zahar said.[emphasis added]
I'd hate to be the social worker in charge of that case.

But according to Zahar, it's not just Abbas who should stay home:
Zahar also added that Hamas would not allow the return of the security officers who used to run Gaza security agency offices before the division in 2007. Hamas also does not agree to re-open Fatah offices in the strip at the current stage and will delegate this task to the Egyptian/Arab committee that will supervise the implementation of the reconciliation deal.
Gee, and they seemed so happy at the signing.

"Congratulations--and I never want to see you again!"

  1. They hate each other.

    Here's a question you can ask others in the future, Daled.

    If the Arabs can't live in peace with each other, how in the world do people expect them to live in peace with the dhimmi Jews?

    Before the world presses Israel to commit national suicide, it should at least have the temerity to insist the Palestinian Arabs get their house in order first.
