GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Hamas has lots of options for dealing with the new Fatah-led Palestinian government sworn in April 13, but not many choices seem likely to result in reconciliation given that Hamas wasn't even invited to join.
The new Palestinian government is headed by Fatah Central Committee member Mohammad Shtayyeh. Six Palestinian factions are represented, three are boycotting the government and two — Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad — were snubbed completely.
