If this report is accurate, it would be some good news for US taxpayers and ultimately Israel. Anadviser to PA President Mahmoud Abbas has said that the Palestinian Authority would give up US tax dollars in exchange for a unity government with Hamas. The so called Moderate Palis would team up with the Muslim Brotherhood offshoot. This clearly shows the real agenda of Abbas and his ilk.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is making a heavy push for reconciliation with Hamas and is willing to give up hundreds of millions of dollars in U.S. aid if that’s what it takes to forge a Palestinian unity deal, his adviser said on Monday.
“The Palestinians need American money, but if they use it as a way of pressuring us, we are ready to relinquish that aid,” aide Azzam Ahmad said.

Israel Radio reported on Monday that Abbas has also ordered lawmakers in the Palestinian Authority to complete draft legislation for a future state within six months, to present to the international community and win United Nations recognition of independent statehood according to the 1967 borders.
If the Fatah wants a unity government with hamas, the US should cut off all aid. Israel should cut off all electricity and water to the PA. Let them know there are consequnces for having Hamas in as a ruling partner.
