I'm Predicting:

It is going to get uglier before it before it gets better for the Palestinians.

Khaled Mashaal, the leader of Hamas, issued a stern warning to PA President Mahmoud Abbas yesterday.
The warning was: Do not charge your prime minister, Salim Fayyed, with creating a narrow government.

For months, using Egypt as a back door conduit, Hamas and Abbas have tried to create a unity government.
According to rumor, Abbas is now throwing up his hands and saying enough and Hamas is issuing threats of destabilization.

These threats come only days after a rosy sweet interview Mashaal gave to the NYTimes during which he said that his movement was in favor of a cease fire with Israel and that Hamas wants to be part of the solution.
Mashaal told the NYTimes: "I promise the American administration and the international community that we will be part of the solution, period."

Which is the real Hamas?
Hamas that threatens Abbas or Hamas that paints a rosy picture for the world to see and read?
I predict it is the first.
