Am I the only one that thinks it is in Israel's best interest to strength Fatah in the West Bank. It seems to me that a process of reasonable negotiations, moving towards a Palestinian state focused there with economic engagement and incentive would marginalize Hamas. I can easily envision disenchantment by the Palestinians trapped in Gaza under Hamas when they saw a peaceful process with the West Bank. They would see that the message/action of violence and hate from Hamas as less desirable than prosperity and peace...
..right?
Why isn't this a viable path for Israel to take?
