I've Been Thinking:
Mahmud Abbas, the leader of Fatah and the President of the Palestinian Authority, met yesterday with the two leaders of Hamas. The meeting took place in Doha, the capital of Qatar. It was sponsored by the Qatari foreign minister.
The objective of the meeting was a reconciliation between Fatah and Hamas. Abbas did not want to meet with the Hamas leaders. His advisers and handlers repeatedly said that there were no plans for a meeting in Qatar despite rumors from Hamas and Qatar leadership.
An official statement from Abbas' office said that the meeting was a business lunch and the objective was to try to reconcile the two sides.
Despite the fact that they had lunch together, there is no chance for that Hamas and Fatah will get together. They hate one another and do not trust each other.
This is just the most recent set of events resulting from the election that Abbas cancelled and that
Hamas barred Fatah from participating in.
