Israel is pushing for an interim solution because it doesn’t want
the Palestinians to benefit from opportunities the US
debacle in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the rest of the Middle East has created. With the Baker-Hamilton report
calling for a solution to the Palestinian problem and with international
community increasingly critical of Israel’s policies, the tide is
turning. Europe wants a lasting
solution to the Palestinian issue, and Israel—fully cognizant—is buying
time.

In the immediate aftermath of the Hamas
elections, last January, Abrams greeted a group of Palestinian businessmen in
his White House office with talk of a “hard coup” against the newly-elected
Hamas government—the violent overthrow of their leadership with arms supplied
by the United States. While the businessmen were shocked, Abrams was adamant—the
U.S.
had to support Fatah with guns, ammunition and training, so that they could
fight Hamas for control of the Palestinian government.

PCHR strongly condemns bloody
incidents in the Occupied
Palestinian Territory
(OPT), especially the Gaza Strip, that have taken place in the context of the
persistent political conflict between Hamas and Fatah movements. This conflict
has been translated into violent armed clashes between armed wings of the two
movements, among security services and among clans, in addition to other
attacks. In the past 6 days, 16 persons have been killed and 117 others have
been wounded as an outcome of these incidents.

Despite
wide consensus among Palestinians that collaboration with the Israeli
authorities (for the clear purpose of targeting and killing Palestinian
activists and freedom fighters) constitutes an unforgivable crime against the
Palestinian people and an absolute betrayal of their just cause, the
imperatives of a democratic and free society requires an institutional-legal,
rather than vigilante, retribution to this crime. First, a coherent process of
a fair trial, in which evidence is brought before a court of law, must take
place to prevent false accusation, and second, the form and extent of
punishment must be governed by a clear legal foundation, not least to regulate
and limit the implementation of the death penalty in the Palestinian
territories.
