HoodaThunk?

I note Fox News has a news flash at the top of their page that Palestinian President Abbas says the new unity government will recognize Israel. I think I’ll have to wait and see that to be sure but when the story on it actually comes up I’ll post it here.

Update: The link to the story is here.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas told the U.N. General Assembly Thursday that the planned national unity government will recognize Israel.

The Hamas-led Palestinian government that won elections in January has refused to recognize Israel, end violence, and honor past agreements between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization, which Abbas heads.

Abbas told the assembly’s annual ministerial meeting that he has recently sought to establish a government of national unity “that is consistent with international and Arab legitimacy and that responds to the demands of the key parties promoting Mideast peace — recognition, ending violence and honoring past agreements.

Sounds great. Let’s see you actually do it and then I’ll believe it.
