As an exit strategy
for the current crisis between Fateh and Hamas and the split of authority,
Hamas’s position is to call for an unconditional dialogue with Abu Mazin
based on the current status quo. Abu Mazin’s and Fateh’s position is that he
would agree to such a dialogue but under one condition; Hamas must first
transfer control of the PA Gaza headquarters to him and return to the status
quo ante. Which of the two positions is closer to your view? |
