Hamas provided the European powers with some helpful keys for unlocking
Western aid for zero concessions:
1. Hamas does not intend heading or even participating in the next
Palestinian government. That administration will therefore not match the
strict definition of a Hamas government. This magicked away one major
obstacle holding up the flow of aid funds from Europe.
2. Hamas does not oppose the new Palestinian government meeting its
obligations under international frameworks. That is no problem either. Hamas
has no trouble voting for the peace principle so long as its conditions are
met, namely Israel must disappear.
3. A new government can be voted in by Fatah?s 44 votes plus the smaller
factions. Hamas lawmakers will abstain. The new government is free to adopt
the principle of peaceful negotiation or any other guideline it wishes. In
any case, Hamas will dictate government policies and actions by remote
control. Yasser Arafat provided a precedent. He freely pledged to refrain
from sponsoring terrorism, which did not stop him at the same time plotting,
orchestrating, pinpointing and funding terrorist operations. That example
will serve Hamas in good stead.
4. Aid funds may be transferred to the Hamas-controlled Palestinian
Authority through a third party, whether international or an Islamic
charity.
Islamic experts warn that these transparent maneuvers will be seen by the
Islamic terrorists group as a sign of weakness and they will therefore blow
back in the faces of their authors. Hamas will maintain its seemingly
reasonable posture and hold its fire, while using the chance to go forward
without interference towards its long-term religious-territorial goals.
How much does Hamas "earn" in your mind from the US for this concession-less
position?
Don't worry, the Saudis are finally getting offa their ass, and picking up
the slack.

PA could get Saudi pledge of $100M
GAZA, Jan. 30 (UPI) -- The Palestinian Authority's financial bind caused by
Hamas' election victory reportedly could be resolved if Saudi Arabia funds
its pledge of $100 million.
The pledge was made to PA leader Mahmoud Abbas when he visited Saudi Arabia
last month, reports the Jerusalem Post. The report said the Saudis came
forward after the European Union refused to transfer payment of some $60
million because the PA began raising salaries and putting more people on its
payroll.
