My Way News - Abbas might delay Palestinian unity government
My Way News reports: "Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas might put off the formation of a unity government with the Islamic militant group Hamas to avoid alienating his Western allies ahead of a U.N. vote on statehood, a senior PLO official said Thursday. Palestinian leaders apparently underestimated international opposition, particularly from the U.S., to any Hamas involvement in government and are afraid that will derail efforts to win the U.N. nod to establish a Palestinian state."

Comment: As many times as the U.S. has denounced Hamas as a terrorist group, it's hard to imagine they didn't anticipate the opposition to a unity government. So, no untity government, that' s a good thing. Still, I don't like the fact that they seem determined to push for a vote at the U.N. this coming September even after the U.S. and others have made it clear that this is not acceptable. I think September is shaping up to be a very important month.
