My Way News - Palestinian factions agree to reconciliation deal
My Way News reports: "Fifteen Palestinian factions, including militant Islamic groups, endorsed a reconciliation deal Tuesday meant to end a four-year rift between the two major Palestinian political movements, Hamas and Fatah. The declaration paved the way for the two groups to sign the agreement on Wednesday, then form a unity caretaker government to prepare for national elections next year."

Comment: This is an unfortunate development. It does not mean that the radical group (Hamas) is aligning with the "moderate" group (Fatah), it means that Fatah is becoming more like Hamas simply because Hamas, as a radical group, is unyielding in their hater ideology. How can a group that champions the destruction of Israel be welcomed into Palestinian political life and then expect anyone to seriously think that the Palestinians want peace?
