Abbas wooing Hamas back

The nature of Palestinian Jihad -Caroline Glick

PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas stated openly that he seeks to reconcile with Hamas. In his joint press briefing with [the] Japanese Foreign Minister, Abbas called for a "return to national unity." He said, "The split as a result of Hamas's coup is temporary and will be removed."

Both Israel and the US are treating the Palestinian jihad in a manner that completely contradicts the US's strategy for contending with the forces of jihad everywhere else in the world. In stark contrast to the [US] administration's embrace of Fatah and Palestinian statehood, everywhere else in the world, the US works to defeat terrorists and deny them control of territory.

Clearly many view this as a different kind of situation. More so, it is true the US handles things differently elsewhere, but they have not shown anywhere that they know how to handle it correctly.
