Palestinian “Unity” Government Not So Unified
The Palestinian unity government was set to resign yesterday in a row over who will rule the Gaza Strip. The unity government was formed last year as a way to reconcile Fatah and Hamas who have been estranged since fighting a mini civil war in 2007 that left Hamas in charge of Gaza. The dissolution occurred because Hamas was not allowing the government to operate in Gaza, raising the question as to what exactly the unity government was supposed to unify. Hamas, long known for rejecting things, rejected the dissolution of the government… Amazingly, no Israelis were involved in this dispute. |
