GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas announced the resignation of his Cabinet on Thursday, a formality that paved the way for the formation of a national unity government with
Fatah. Haniyeh said a unity government would usher in a new era for the Palestinians. He stood next to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas during the ceremony. Abbas then authorized Haniyeh to form a new coalition government.

Meanwhile aides to Abbas said Thursday that U.S. diplomats told them Washington plans to shun a future Hamas-Fatah coalition government because it will not explicitly recognize
Israel.
State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said the U.S. would not make judgments about the unity government before it is formed and has an official platform. The Bush administration also will watch the government's actions once it takes office, he said.
If the U.S. decides to shun a new Hamas-Fatah government, it would be a severe blow to Abbas. The Fatah moderate leader has been trying to implement a power-sharing deal with Hamas to end Palestinian infighting and lift crippling international sanctions against the government.

=================================================================
They never like Muslim countries (whether it is in Arab countries or Africa Somalia) to work out their difference and form a healthy unity government "no it will be too risky and dangerous for isralis if they (Muslims) unite. You see the hypocracy of some western policy here.
In Somalia they didn't want an Islamic gov. rather they wanted a puppet secular who will be told do this and that under the control of the wester entity.
Ignorant puppet Muslim leaders make me sick to my stomach
