Palestinian elections: hard issue with no exit.

---

The Palestinian people are lost in a cleavage in which each part says it has the appropriate way out to the current crisis. President Abbas says the majority of Palestinians are in favour of early elections, besides the party represented by the president of the Palestinian authority “Fatah” isn’t that skilled to impose an election on an unwilling government.

 The president Mahmoud Abbas want the Hamas not only recognise the Israeli right to existence, stop having recourse to violence, adherence to the previous Israeli- Palestinian agreements but also be technocratic. Hamas rejected all the previous conditions.

It is obvious that Mahmoud Abbas has the total support of the international community.

 Despite the tensions in the region, Hamas Prime Minister Ismaeil Haniyeh said he was confident and ready enough to embark on a tour of the region. He brought 250$ million from Iran and received the pledge in Qatar to pay 40.000 teachers for the next six month. This pledge was enough for Fatah inspired-public sector strikes that had rocked the government since September.
The U.S secretary of state Condoleezza Rice said her country is able to help forces loyal to Abbas with million dollars if necessary. Abbas is also negotiating with the E.U to expand its aid program to include the Palestinian national authority police and intelligent forces.
