Cuban intelligence agent Fernando Gonzalez, known as one of the "Cuban Five," arrives for a press conference in Havana, Cuba, Monday, June 2, 2014. Gonzalez who spent years in jail in the United States says the exchange of five Taliban detainees for a U.S. Army sergeant held captive in Afghanistan could set a precedent for a similar swap with Cuba. Gonzalez said Monday that the only thing needed is political will by the Obama administration to negotiate a swap of U.S. government subcontractor Alan Gross for three Cuban agents still imprisoned in the United States.(AP Photo/Franklin Reyes)

Palestinians wave flags as they celebrate the reconciliation between rival factions Fatah and Hamas, during a rally in Gaza City. President Mahmoud Abbas said a dark period in Palestinian history has ended with the formation of a unity government that formally ends his seven-year rift with the Islamic militant Hamas. But the alliance of old foes remains volatile, while Israel threatens punitive measures and Abbas doesn't know yet if he'll get continued financial aid from the U.S. and Europe to keep the unity government afloat.
