Who benefits from the Hamas Fatah accord.

How bad is it for Israel? Is it consistent with the Arab spring? Who in the ME is hurt by it? Is it possible for anyone to influence what is going on in the Arab world?

The safe bet is that it will change nothing.:(

[whell]

One can only hope that Hamas has concluded that continuing to harass Israel will not bring about any realistic chance of a Palastinian state, and and aligning with Fatah provides a united front and a better negotiating position...

...but I think I'm with Finn on this one. I'll believe it when (if) I see it.

Probably Isreal hopefully, one better than two.

Until Hamas drops the whole destruction of Isreal thing they can kiss my hiney.
