Hamas Government to Step Down Soon
Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh said Monday his militant Hamas government will resign in the coming days - a formality that should clear the way for a new coalition with the Fatah movement.

Haniyeh acknowledged, however, that last week's power sharing deal between the two sides left key issues unresolved - most notably control over the security forces.

Those issues could still cause the deal to unravel, but Haniyeh said in a televised address Monday that both sides were committed to the agreement to bring an end to the bloody infighting that has plagued Gaza in recent months.

"All Palestinians have won in this agreement," he said.

2. Saudi Arabia is taking credit for this
They are climbing down from their ivory tower and stepping up in the Arab world. Are they not their muslim brothers keeper?
They have the cash to resolve problems but Hamas still will not recognize Israel as a sovereign nation.They have that long standing clause; The enemy of my enemy is my friend pretzel logic
so in the long run, the song remains the same.

No serious peace deals will be on the table if Hamas and Fatah put aside their differences and really stop attacking each other.
