Meanwhile Chairman Mahmoud Abbas is expected to arrive in Gaza on Monday or Tuesday to resume talks towards forming a coalition government with Prime Minister Ismail Haniyah of the Hamas Party. Both parties are exchanging the blame for the failure in talks and the collapse of the much hyped coallition Govt.
Haniyah last week reiterated his position, that a Hamas-led government would never recognize Israel. This despite statements to the contrary released by Abu Mazen in NYC.
PA chief negotiator Dr. Saeb Erekat, who is aligned with Abu Mazen, stated that Haniyah violated an agreement with Fatah and began retracting his position only after Abu Mazen flew to New York City to attend the UN General Assembly, where he worked to enlist support of the world community to lift the economic boycott on the PA.
