Never mind pressing Israel for concessions in pursuit of “peace.” The Palestinians themselves are incapable of making the necessary concessions to one another to provide the Israelis with an interlocutor. “The past week has seen an escalation in the confrontation between Hamas and Fatah, both in words and deeds,” reports the Jerusalem Post‘s Khaled Abu Toameh. “Relentless efforts by the Egyptians to end the Hamas-Fatah rift have failed to produce positive results, leaving the Palestinians with two separate entities in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.”
Exactly. The only two-state solution in their immediate future is the one they already have: alas for their poor citizens, one is a hell-hole in Gaza run by a bunch of terrorists, and the other an unstable mess in the West Bank run by a bunch of corrupt dodderers.
