A Sovereign Palestine? - Paul Sheehan
The level of conflict between the Palestinian parties simmers just below the level of civil war, even as the spoils keep shrinking. Stripped of all emotion and prejudice, right and wrong, one reality becomes clear: there is no chance of a sovereign, autonomous Palestinian state. Not within our lifetimes.

Possibly. But this situation is not good for peace, or Israel. This is why Israel, and the US, following Israel's lead, is supporting Abbas. In open civil war, Hamas would likely assasinate the opposition, and convince the beleaguered public that all of this is a result of Fatah's softness on Israel. Supporting Abbas, especially financially, so he can aid and invigorate his people, and sustain them with the confidence to not reelect Hamas, would be a better start to the future.
