A SPLIT IN HAMAS??

For several months now, some have argued the possibility of a split in Hamas over the reconciliation with Fatah was a just a show, but all indications are now pointing to a real issue inside the Hamas camp.

 Side Note:   Once again, Qatar is right in the middle of the interaction as
it continues to increase its status in the Middle East.

Khaled Meshal and Haniyeh  would not let the public know they were meeting to discuss the disagreement in the Hamas camp if they didn't want to.

These men are specialist at not letting the public know where they are and what they are talking about.

For this meeting to be out in the open, is a good indicator just how much Hamas leadership is troubled by this split.

Meshal and Abbas have hitched their horse to the Muslim Brotherhood leadership in Egypt.

Mahmoud Al-Zahar and his faction of Hamas are still holding on to the Iranian supported operation.

One of the real issues here is purely a extension of Arab organized crime in nature.

Mahmoud Al- Zahar's group has a good thing going in Gaza and the money that is made on smuggling has allowed he and his supporters to live the good life!

If this "Reconciliation" deal goes through, the " new" leaders in Gaza will take away the honey hole!!!

Yep.. it's not always about religion or political ideology... most often it's based on good old fashion corruption and greed..

Two traits that are looked at as true skill crafts in the Middle East.

If the "buyout" for Al-Zahar is good, then Iran will lose its last foothold in Gaza.


Take a guess at what the Iranian counter offer might be?

What I find fascinating, is the Israeli reaction to the whole issue of "
Reconciliation".

A Palestinian Muslim Brotherhood movement.. after the demise of the hated and labeled Hamas / Fatah movements, is something Israel is really worried about.
