I'm Predicting:

It looks like the Palestinians, Hamas and Fatah may actually be putting together a unity government.

Russia and several European states are even talking about lifting their boycotts.
And there is talk about putting significant pressure on the US to lift their boycott.

But the biggest impediment will be 3 demands that Hamas will not accept.
The world will be asking Hamas to:
Accept Israel
Fight terror and denounce terror
Honor agreements made earlier

On the issue of accepting Israel - Hamas will let Abbas do that negotiating
On the issue of fighting and denouncing terror - Hamas may honor a ceasefire
On the issue of earlier agreements - Hamas says only those in the their interest

There has been zero change in Hamas.
And yet, some countries are willing to be fooled. Again.
