Sorry if I misread you. :spank:

Anyone with a brain knows that Hamas cannot be ignored. But I expect that will not ensue immediately. Some talks will have to occur, some deals be made, some compromises, some political theater acted out.

I would speculate that the Hamas track will not get much attention until Bibi and his boys have decided to play ball, or not. They have had it their own way for so long, it may take them a while to adjust. Some tantrums to be thrown, etc. It's going to be interesting.

It would certainly be folly of a high order for Hamas not to cooperate. Hopefully this will be an incentive to push the "unity talks" forward.
