Is it possible that peace in the Middle East can be achieved when two fanctions within the Palestinian Authority are in disagreement? This week Hamas and Fatah received invitations from Cairo "Kiss and make up".
Egyptian sources said that the delegations of Hamas and Fatah have been in discussions recently in Cairo to try to find a way can work together and form an interim Government of the Palestinian Authority and set a date for elections. According to 'O Arutz Sheva' (national news of Israel) a reconciliation agreement was announced on Wednesday and on Thursday sent invitations to Hamas and Fatah to sign it. It remains to be seen if this initiative can succeed in the Palestinian media that it has been widely reported in recent months 'troop' Hamas opposed reconciliation with Fatah.
Words of Jesus from Mark 3: 25 'If a House is divided against itself the home cannot survive' seems very apt in this situation. How West thinks that the Palestinian Authority can negotiate with Israel when it is not accepted within his own political arena? Do you want to reach an agreement with Israel? Clearly not everyone they otherwise could be firing rockets and sit down to negotiate the peace process. Israel is waiting to speak.
All the problems we have seen in recent months in the Arab world and the fact that suicide bombers Muslims kill Muslims rather than any other destination suggested that the House of Islam is very divided against itself. The terrible behaviour of some Islamic States of the East against its own citizens probably carried each civilized person thanks to God that in the State of Israel the world has a political, democratic and humanitarian presence in the Middle East. And rather than a State whose values are more akin to Western Nations than any other in that region - witness of what we have seen in Libya and Syria late, abductions and beheadings in Iraq a few years ago.
"Benefactors" in the West that are constantly trying to destabilize Israel with their campaigns of boycott and divestment would do well to reflect on these facts, if the Middle East loses Israel will be much more politically unstable than it is now. I think that the Arab world will be in peace once Israel has gone? Not a chance. A house divided against itself can not survive!
