I've Been Thinking:
Yesterday a huge internal rift erupted between Hamas and the Palestinian Authority.
Three senior Palestinian leaders were travelling to Gaza and they were refused entry by Hamas.
The event led to shouting and one of the senior PA officials, Sakher Bseisso, shouted prolonged curses using the name of the prophet.
This did not help their case.
A Hamas spokesman said that the PA had made their choice - and that the PA seemed to be prioritizing choosing the US and Israel over Palestinian unity and their agreement.
In response Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas issued a statement that he is now revaluating the entire unity agreement between Hamas and the PA which stipulated that they were to share power and hold national elections on May 4.
The Palestinians cannot unite. Each side has too much at stake.
This is just one simple example. Hamas has agreed to become a member of the PLO and submit to Fatah leadership, but that just will not happen.
