re: #58 MandyManners

Not that I’ve heard of, in particular. Hamas and Fatah are being pressured big time by Egypt to unify and they were on the verge of signing a deal that I’m not sure what happened to.

The Goldstone Report almost caused Abbas to be deposed over some internal politics (he originally wanted to defer the vote), and there was a tense time around Yom Kippur where a third Intifada almost looked about to erupt. Now Fatah head-honchos are calling for a return to violence.

There was also a recent exchange of 20 female Palestinian prisoners for a 2 minute video of Gilad Shalit.

That’s pretty much the latest.
