These days, alliances previously excluded from the realm of possibility might in fact be established, as shown by the mutual gradual courting between Hamas and President Mahmoud Abbas’ archenemy Mohammed Dahlan, who had been dismissed from Fatah.
Hamas spokesman Salah Bardawil confirmed Oct. 27 that the movement is willing to talk with Dahlan after the completion of the reconciliation. According to Bardawil, social reconciliation erases the past and Hamas does not mind holding dialogues with any Palestinian regardless of his past, away from the internal disputes witnessed by Fatah.
