Palestinian Unity Government?
By Micah Halpern

Thursday June 15, 2006

I've Been Thinking:

Due to the tremendous amounts of pressure the Western world is placing on Hamas it appears as if the organization is about to collapse.

The financial crisis in the Palestinian Authority is worsening.
Yesterday, Hamas Foreign Minister Mahmoud al Zahar was caught entering Gaza through the Rafah checkpoint with a suitcase containing $20 million.
The foreign minister had to sign an affidavit swearing that the money was going directly to the Palestinian treasury.

The Palestinian press is running with the rumor that this Hamas government will disband and a National Unity government, led by a technocrat, will emerge.
A Palestinian National Unity government may sound like a good idea, but in reality, it is only a band-aid cure for what ails the Palestinians.

The problem is that Hamas will never recognize Israel.
Hamas does not and cannot hide that fact.
Re-packaging Hamas, even under the guise of a National Unity government, will not solve the larger problem.
When Hamas goes, politically, they must be gone, entirely.
Only then will the Palestinians be on the road to healing and recovery.
