Hamas: 'Only minor issues remain'
Hamas politburo chief Khaled Meshaal said on Monday that 'serious and real steps' have been taken toward a reconciliation between Hamas and Fatah, and 'only minor issues' remain. "The best way to respond to the Zionist extremism is achieving reconciliation," Mashaal told a meeting of Arab parliamentarians in Damascus.What could go wrong?
The rival sides had said Saturday they agreed on steps to end divisions.
The agreement came during a four-hour meeting that ended early Saturday between two delegations headed by Mashaal and senior Fatah official Azzam al-Ahmed.
A joint statement issued after the talks said the two sides have reached an understanding on "the majority of points of difference." It gave no details, but the sides have differed over control of Palestinian security forces and the date for parliamentary and presidential elections.
The picture is not Meshaal, but Hamas 'President' Ismail Haniyeh.

Let's pray it succeeds.
Then a Palestinian state will be dead in the water for good.
