Hamas and Fatah sign Peace Agreement

The rival Palestinian powers signed a peace agreement late Thursday, that would create a National Unity government controlled by Fatah and Hamas, the NY Times Reported. This could mean great things for the region, however unless they end Hamas' terrorist way they are going to get no where.

The National Unity government is not going to be successful until it recognizes the State of Israel and its right to exist. U.S. and other foreign aide will continue to be withheld until the Palestinian Authority does so. The Unity government will do very little in terms of the Israel--Palestinian Conflict.
