Minister of Intelligence Israel Katz called the "puppet theater" a new government of national unity, which intends to form Abu Mazen with the participation of Hamas.

The minister also questioned the relevance of the Palestinian leader's promises, according to which "at the end of the process (reconciliation), the weapons of Hamas will be under control (Fatah)."

"When Hamas disarms and recognizes Israel's right to exist, do not forget to tell us about it," wrote Yisrael Katz in her microblog on Twitter on October 3.

According to the Cursor, unlike the active reaction to the last serious attempt at reconciliation of Fatah-Hamas in 2014, Israel retains a "very low profile" now - after PA Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah arrived in Gaza for talks with Ismail Haniyeh .

About this writes, in his analytical article, a columnist for the Jerusalem Post Herb Keinon on the evening of October 2.

"Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, who in 2014 called the decision of the head of the Palestinian autonomy Mahmoud Abbas to form a government of national unity with Hamas" a great return to peace, "this time did not publicly speak on this issue," notes Kayon and continues:

"Instead, as high-ranking diplomatic sources say, Israel fears that Hamas will try to gain international legitimacy without recognizing Israel's right to exist, without disarmament and without the adoption of peaceful initiatives by the" international quartet. "

The principles of the Quartet concerning Hamas were proclaimed more than ten years ago. They stipulate that this organization should recognize Israel, accept agreements with it, signed earlier by the leadership of the PA, and abandon terrorism. "

Meanwhile, Hamas, according to diplomatic sources, continues to "remain a ruthless and bloodthirsty terrorist organization that seeks to destroy Israel."
