PA Figures are Undermining a Palestinian Conciliation Agreement

It is still unclear why the Palestine Authority did not act according to the will of its own people, the Palestinians.Why, blocking-stopping the Goldstone Report? Mahmoud Abbas is seen to a large bulk of the Palestinian people as morally bankrupt, a traitor and collaborator.There are suspicions among all political factions, that Abbas was bullied by US to delay discussions of the Goldstone Report, arguing that a ratification of the report at the UNHRC would discompose the Israelis and therein make it difficult, or even worse, undermine American efforts to broker a Middle East peace deal. Maybe Abbas was advised to obey to the US, or risk that millions of financial aid payed out in support to the PA government would be withdrawn in explicit ?
According to reliable sources, the Israelis, reportedly threatened the PA that it would not renew the license of the Palestinian mobile phone company, (co- owned by a son of the PA chief Mahmoud Abbas,) if the PA exerted pressure for the adoption of the Goldstone Report in Geneva. There are also indications that a likely reason for the PA's decision to dump the Goldstone Report, may have to do with an Israeli threat to release revealing records of conversations between Israeli and PA officials,extremely shocking evidence of the PA pleading with the Israelis to carry out the war on Gaza to the full destruction, in order to crush Hamas.
Alongside with the notorious Muhammad Dahlan, Abed Rabbo (Abed el Sahayneh), launched an harsh attack on Hamas, at the Palestinian Information Center in Al-Bireh, outside Ramallah. a day after the Gaza press conference. Rabbo, a Fatah official and political careerist, earlier member of PFLP, DFL. In the beginning of 1990, he became FIDA's representative in the PLO Executive Committee, in the later part of the 90ties Rabbo became the main advisor to Yasser Arafat, today he is political advisor to Arafat's successor,Mahmoud Abbas.
Some aging Fatah figures, including Abed Rabbo are alleged of thievery. Foreign aid-money entrusted to the PA for management, intended to achieve at least a basic living standard for the besieged and hard struggling common Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, have made some Fatah officials mighty and arrogant... and very wealthy.
At the PIC Center in Al -Bireh last week, Rabbo accused Hamas politicians in Gaza of taking advantage of and benefiting financially from the political status quo. One must wonder, if he, Rabbo, ever have seen the Palestinian PM Ismail Hanyeh's humble residence in Gaza ?
Ten months after the Zionist Israeli genocidal war on Gaza, the wounds are infected,still bleeding deep and wide open, Abed Rabbo has the nerve to suggest that Hamas is preventing "Palestinian military groups" from launching shells at Israeli targets bordering the Gaza Strip.

Hamas: We are keen on reconciliation, but the problem in the Egyptian paper
[ 22/10/2009 - 11:07 AM ]
GAZA, (PIC)-- The Movement of Hamas reiterated Wednesday that it is keen on ending the inter-Palestinian division and committed to the understanding reached with Cairo, but the problem lies in the additions and amendments made to the Egyptian reconciliation paper, which were not tabled before.
In a press statement to the Palestinian information center (PIC), Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri underlined that his Movement has no new demands regarding the Egyptian paper, but it wants commitment to the understandings reached in Cairo, calling on the Egyptian mediator to match the recent reconciliation paper with what had been agreed upon.
Spokesman Abu Zuhri noted that his Movement embarks on arranging a visit of a delegation to Cairo to explain their remarks and to match the Egyptian reconciliation paper with previous agreements.
Regarding Mahmoud Abbas’s threats of holding elections if Hamas did not sign the reconciliation paper, the spokesman said that such statements are aimed to blackmail and pressure Hamas and any election held in the West Bank would never succeed.
For his part, former minister of prisoners’ affairs Wasfi Qabaha, administratively detained in Israeli jails, stated Wednesday that Hamas wants to restore the national unity because it is part of its faith, so it is trying to put aside the differences and create a healthy ground for the reconciliation.
In a leaked letter sent exclusively to the Palestinian information center (PIC), Qabaha said that the national reconciliation does not appeal to Fatah leaders who inflame tension and differences with the aim of entrenching division in the Palestinian arena.
He stressed that Abbas’s threats of holding presidential and legislative election outside the framework of the national consensus reflects the reality of his intentions and his hypocrisy.
EZZAT: reconciliation interrupted

October 20, 2009
Even if signed, which looks now impossible, any reconciliation deal between Fatah and Hamas appears unlikely to hold.
"According to Egyptian and Palestinian sources, Mitchell told Abbas and his prime minister, Salam Fayyad, that the moment is not opportune for any form of national unity government or joint Hamas-Fatah committee to administer affairs in Gaza and the West Bank."
"“Today, Abbas is faced with a serious American warning that assistance funds that he desperately needs would not be channelled to his almost empty coffers if he gets into any national unity arrangement with Hamas,” said an Egyptian source that asked for his name to be withheld. And according to a Palestinian source, Abbas is not exactly keen to pursue a situation that will put him together with Hamas in joint decision-making. Abbas, the same source said, is close to accepting the advice, which he gets from some of his closest advisors as well as from certain quarters in Israel and the US, to pursue the “West Bank first” path."
"During their talks in Cairo this week with Mitchell, both Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul- Gheit and General Intelligence Chief Omar Suleiman pressed upon the US envoy the need to avoid taking measures that might entrench the separation between Gaza and the West Bank. “This separation would spare Israel from its responsibility to provide energy and other essentials for the Gaza Strip and would also spare the West Bank from its financial duties towards Palestinians in Gaza. It would lead to a serious humanitarian crisis that Egypt (the immediate neighbour) would be called on to address,” the same source said."
“This might help a little, but the discord between Hamas and Fatah is so deep that it might seriously challenge the reconciliation agreement even if signed,” said the Egyptian diplomat."

ضغوط أميركية غيرت الورقة المصرية
This is an important article from Al-Jazeera, but I could not find an English version of it.
It basically says that the original reconciliation agreement between Hamas and Fatah, mediated by Cairo and agreed to by Hamas, was changed due to American pressure on Cairo.
George Mitchell conveyed Washington's strong objection to the original 8-page agreement. He demanded that Cairo change some key terms in the agreement, including adding the condition of Hamas' acceptance of the terms of the Quartet (basically explicitly recognizing Israel, among other things). Mitchell told Egypt's Intelligence Chief, Suleiman and its Foreign Minister that Egypt should not accommodate Hamas, and instead demanded that Cairo should tighten the screws on Hamas to abandon armed resistance and to join the "peace process" for a settlement with Israel.
Abbas had complained to Mitchell that the original agreement was more to Hamas' liking and he (Abbas) protested that Mitchell should put pressure on Cairo.
Cairo, of course, gave in. The current document (complying with US demands) is 25 pages (instead of the original 8). Many new conditions were added, which were not agreed to by Hamas. Some items in the original agreement were deleted.
Now Cairo has presented this new, US-doctored document, as take-it-or-leave-it to Hamas. However, Cairo is threatening Hamas that it would tighten the screws further if Hamas
"كشفت مصادر فلسطينية مقربة من دوائر صنع القرار في رام الله أن مصر عدلت مسودة ورقة المصالحة الفلسطينية أكثر من مرة بعد تهديدات أميركية بعرقلة جهودها إذا استجابت لمطالب حركة المقاومة الإسلامية (حماس) بعدم تضمين الورقة شروط اللجنة الرباعية، في وقت نفت فيه القاهرة هذه الأنباء وأكدت أنها لا تخضع لضغوط من أي جهة.
وذكرت المصادر الفلسطينية للجزيرة نت أن القاهرة غيرت الوثيقة الأخيرة التي سلمتها لحماس منتصف الشهر الماضي، بعدما قدم المبعوث الأميركي الخاص إلى الشرق الأوسط جورج ميتشل رسالة احتجاج من الخارجية الأميركية على الورقة المصرية.
وقالت المصادر إن القاهرة استجابت للطلب الأميركي واعتبرت –دون الرجوع لحماس والفصائل الأخرى- الورقة السابقة والمكونة من ثماني صفحات ملغاة، وأعدت ورقة تقارب 25 صفحة بها نقاط جديدة لم تطرح أو طرحت وتم رفضها من حماس وآخرين.
وبينت المصادر أن ميتشل أبلغ مدير المخابرات المصرية الوزير عمر سليمان أن الإدارة الأميركية ستعرقل أي جهد لا يدفع حماس للاعتراف والالتزام بشروط الرباعية وواشنطن، وذلك في لقاء جمعهما بالقاهرة في العاشر من أكتوبر/ تشرين الأول الجاري.
ونقلت المصادر عن ميتشل قوله لسليمان ولوزير الخارجية المصري أحمد أبو الغيط إن على القاهرة عدم مسايرة حماس وإنها بذلك تعطل الجهود الأميركية المبذولة من قبل الرئيس باراك أوباما لاستئناف المفاوضات.
وطلب ميتشل من القاهرة -بحسب المصادر ذاتها- أن تقدم على مزيد من الإجراءات التي من شأنها إجبار حماس على التخلي عن المقاومة المسلحة والانضمام لتحالف فلسطيني من أجل التسوية مع إسرائيل.
وقالت المصادر إن ميتشل استمع في رام الله من الرئيس الفلسطيني محمود عباس تحريضاً على القاهرة، معتبراً أن الورقة التي قدمتها مصر لحركة التحرير الوطني الفلسطيني (فتح) كلها شروط حماس ومجحفة ومذلة لحركته والسلطة الفلسطينية.

Failure of Reconciliation shaked the Donkeys s head, I mean I mean the shitbag above his shoulder, and he did it TONY dropped his Bombshell (Fart)
He was right from the very begening, longtime ago he did it.
"COMMENT: Instead of burying the collaborationist PA and starting a new chapter based on resistance and liberation, Hamas throws the PA a lifeline. Disgusting!
I will write a longer comment about all these "peace" and "reconciliation" moves breaking out all over, and what could be behind them.
The more things change, the more they stay the same: Hamas wants recognition and a place at the Table and the Pharaoh will deliver a domesticated Hamas.
"CAIRO, (PIC)-- Palestinian factions, including Hamas and Fatah, among other Palestinian factions meeting in Cairo have agreed Thursday to form an interim national unity government that would manage the Palestinian affairs t
