Mid-East Peace Talks - One Confusing Game
With Hamas winning 40% of yesterday's vote, and Sharon out for the count with his stroke, we are looking at one confusing game in the Middle East. It is unclear what is going on in Israel with the peace plan. Since Sharon was the main driver of the offense, no one knows what will happen until after their elections. Will the Israelis continue to withdraw from occupied territories, will they strengthen existing settlements or even build more? We don't know.
Hamas advocates the destruction of Israel and they now play a major role in the official government. Granted, they said little preceding the election to remind the world of their violent past, but they haven't renounced it. What can we expect from the Palestinians? Peace? War? More terrorism? These are interesting times.
