A partnership of convenience based in Islamic doctrine. If they cannot destroy Israel alone, they will double up and try with more manpower and weapons. This is merely a reiteration of a continuing diatribe against the only democracy in the Middle East.
But they don't mean it, we are told and they just want to get along and live in peace, on their own land.
Right?

Fatah has never recognized Israel’s right to exist and will never do so, according to Azzam al-Ahmed, a member of the Fatah Central Committee who is closely associated with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
Ahmed, who is also head of the Fatah negotiating team with Hamas, said PA security forces in the West Bank were arresting Hamas supporters to protect them from being targeted by the IDF.
Ahmed’s remarks were made in an interview with the Egyptian newspaper Al-Masry Al- Youm.
Asked whether Fatah had spoken with Hamas about recognizing Israel, the senior Fatah official said, “Fatah has not recognized Israel. I challenge anyone who says that the case is otherwise, whether it’s Hamas or others. Neither Fatah nor Hamas is required to recognize Israel. Only governments and states extend recognition. It was the Palestinian government that recognized Israel, just as the Israeli government recognized us.”
Ahmed said the PLO had recognized Israel with the signing of the Oslo Accords.
“An organization recognized a state and a state recognized an organization,” he said.
“Now states should recognize each other when a Palestinian state is declared next September.”
What he is saying is that since the PLO, a recognized state, has recognized Israel, the fact that they (Fatah) still will not see Israel as a real state but are joining the PLO and Hamas to create a united front, and it does not matter that Fatah dismisses Israel, the PLO recognizes Israel and that is that.
