Earlier, I pointed out that Hamas has declared that in this new period of "reconciliation" that there will be no progress on peace negotiations with Israel.
Rick Richman goes further, as this blogpost highlights:-
...take Fatah and Hamas at their word that they intend to hold an election in the next year, and make that election the contingency on which any other official action hinges.
This proposal is spot-on for several reasons. The first is that it fits the national character of both the US and Israel. It shifts the central question from whether we believe in the intentions or good faith of Hamas and Fatah to whether they will live up to a concrete, measurable obligation that almost everyone on the planet gives lip-service to...
The US, it is true, has given up on a "settlement moratorium" but maybe Rick could get his proposal a hearing.
I would add one point: halt to all incitement which leades to terror which kills Jews. That's not peace nor pre-peace.
