It can only bode ill for the average palestinian civvy...caught in the crossfire of Fateh vs. Hamas and Hamas vs. IDF
It makes a mockery of international election monitoring as Hamas was voted by popular civilian electoral mandate, it makes a mockery of the 'Roadmap
to peace' as only one of the two main political parties (Mahmoud Abbas' Fateh) has been invited to peace talk dialogue, and it makes a mockery of
Israels policies not to deal with 'turrists' (quoting GWB) as prior to Yasser Arafats death and as figurehead of the PLO (Palestinain Liberation
Organisation), were the opposing force to Israel and now under the leadership of Abbas are being courted by the Israeli political elite
