Surprise - New Palestinian govt won't recognise Israel

New Palestinian govt won't recognise Israel-Hamas:
"The Palestinian unity government which will be formed under an agreement reached in Saudi Arabia will not recognise Israel, a political adviser to Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh said on Saturday.

The Palestinians should not get a millimeter more land until they do. Why should Israel commit suicide?

'The issue of recognition was not addressed at all (in Mecca),' Ahmed Youssef said. 'In the platform of the new government there will be no sign of recognition (of Israel), regardless of the pressures the United States and the Quartet would exert,' he said."

So was it just one big Toga Party?

If they were interested in progress, then that should have been top of their agenda. It is the reason they are arguing and it is what separates them from having a state.

My guess is the talks ran along the lines of "it's silly us killing ourselves when we should be working together to kill Jews".
