If merged Palestinian government wishes to be a true player on international stage, US official says, they must act on the side of peace.
The United States responded on Wednesday to an announced reconciliation between Fatah and Hamas, releasing a short and tepid statement that withheld judgment and bordered on skepticism.
“To play a constructive role in achieving peace, any Palestinian government must accept the Quartet principles and renounce violence, abide by past agreements, and recognize Israel’s right to exist,” he said.
The United States responded on Wednesday to an announced reconciliation between Fatah and Hamas, releasing a short and tepid statement that withheld judgment and bordered on skepticism.
“The United States supports Palestinian reconciliation on terms which promote the cause of peace. Hamas, however, is a terrorist organization which targets civilians,” White House spokesman Tommy Vietor said in a statement.

My comment:
The question is what can Washington do to avoid Hamas getting a foothold in Ramallah?
Be aware that Washington is not saying that Hamas, will not be allowed to establish an office on the “West bank”.
In the next political election in “Arab Palestine”, gives Hamas the victory, will the US Dayton Forces pack up, or will they be under the command of Hamas?
The US created the Taliban, to fight the Russians in Afghanistan. Now they are about to give another evil access to US money and military equipment. All of it will be used in the ongoing Islamic war to destroy Israel.
