Khaled Abu Toameh: PA unity negotiations near collapse
The unity negotiations between Hamas and Fatah for a combined unity PA government that Obama wanted are near the point of collapse, according to reports by the negotiators, according to Khaled Abu Toameh.

[My comment: Unity between Hamas and Fatah would mean that Fatah would end up as the junior partner, a fig leaf for Hamas’ rule so that the West could deceive itself and pretend that the death-to-Israel Hamas has moderated. Hamas would eventually rule the West Bank without Fatah, as in the Gaza Strip, and Obama will say that he is surprised. This would give Iran a proxy control over the West Bank, to the grave disadvantage of both Israel and Jordan.]
