Palestine/Israel

[Lady1d]

Can someone please give me the background to everything that is going on. Sorry to sound like a complete idiot but I'm not at all up to speed on current affairs and need an idiots guide

Oh, and these is no apartheid wall. There is a wall which admittedly should have followed the 1967 border on the israeli side but it's no more apartheid than the wall between Mexico and the US.

In fact, many settlers vehemently opposed the wall. Common cause i guess.

If the Islamic Jihadist Hamas can not be trusted WITHIN Palestine to honour a domestic unity agreement after 7-years of conflict with the Palestinian Fatah Party - what chance is there for a Hamas led Palestine could EVER be trusted by Israeli citizens in the south, to agree a peaceful deal with Israel?

"Mr Abbas demanded "one authority, one gun, one law" in comments made upon touching down in Cairo on Saturday, and complained that the unity government is not able to do "anything at the moment in the Gaza Strip", due to Hamas's actions."

"We will not allow the situation to continue as such", the president vowed.

"We won't accept a partnership with [Hamas] if the situation continues like this in Gaza where there is a shadow government of 27 deputy ministers who are running the territory".
