I've Been Thinking:

Hamas leaders Ismail Haniyah and Khaled Mashaal have met in Cairo.

Prime Minister Ismail Haniyah came over from Gaza and Politburo Chief Khaled Mashaal arrived from Qatar which is where he is now headquartered.

There are several reasons for meeting.

The most important part of their get together is to strategize a way to smooth over differences with Egypt. Hamas has been at a disadvantage ever since Egypt closed the tunnels connecting Gaza with Egypt Hamas has suffered. They no longer have the freedom of movement the tunnels offered them.

Mashaal and Haniyah must also decide if they should continue to try to reconcile with the Palestinian Authority. So far, all attempts at reconciliation have failed.

There is no doubt that they will also discuss Israel. And there is no doubt that about Israel the two Hamas leaders will be in 100% agreement. Condemn, just condemn.
