Hamas, Fatah declare ‘truce’
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3152460,00.html

Palestinian groups pledge to end infighting that has plagued Gaza Strip in recent weeks; major Gaza factions sign document forbidding internal wars, attacks on other groups. However, terrorists say armed struggle against Israel to continue

<snip>

"After days of tensions and confrontations that included abductions and shootouts that left Palestinians on both sides dead or wounded, senior Hamas and Fatah figures met in Gaza Saturday in a bid to resolve the ongoing dispute.

During the session, the representatives agreed to maintain open channels of communication. The sides discussed recent tensions and decided that disagreements between the two organizations must be resolved through dialogue and not through an armed struggle."

"In addition to the talks, several Palestinian organizations signed Saturday a document aiming to prevent bloodshed and internal conflicts. Representatives of all major armed factions signed the memorandum, which stipulated that internal wars and attacks on other groups are strictly forbidden.

The groups made it clear that they are still committed to the strategy of an armed struggle against Israel, but also to the relative lull in violence, as long as it is mutual. The organizations also expressed their objection to any attempts to disarm them and said such move would constitute a free gift to the enemy."

1. temp.....
in the long run there can be only a single armed authority...one way or another the PA/fatah has to take charge.....they might as well follow what israel did, since it did work..which is to integrate and seperate them within the PA forces.

if they remain an armed group....the palestenians society has no chance for a decent, safe modern civilization...and neither do we....

now would be a good time for the pro palestenian lobby (ISM included) to start speaking out for the PA, its society and for the safety of the palestenain citizen by protesting the hamas and islamic jihad and the hizballla...with more killings last year within their society for political reasons.....than what the IDF did, they are now the real danger.

lets start seeing those articles....those protests...ready?....

i'll start:
Hamas, Hizballa, jihad.....against civil rights! We support the PA...they have the might!

oh one final thing....for when the westerners go to gaza to protect the citizens....dont do the human shield thing....

2. IDF: Hamas uninterested in truce

(Pelsar, I agree with you)


IDF: Hamas uninterested in truce



IDF intelligence chief tells Cabinet it is in interest of terror groups to carry out attacks; says Abbas can become stronger if he regains composure
Diana Bahur-Nir



IDF Intelligence Chief Major General Aharon Zeevi Farkash told the Cabinet on Sunday that it is in the interest of the Palestinian terror organizations to wage terror attacks against Israel.



“Terror organizations are constantly trying to plan attacks, including kidnappings. Their aim is to hamper any move for normalization with Israel and therefore they want children in Gaza to starve and fight, which will strengthen them. In this sense they want to carry out attacks,” Farkash said.
