  • Two Palestines: Risk of a West Bank First Policy

    Fri, Jul 13, 2007
    A panel discusses the collapse of the Palestinian National Unity Government (NUG), following the takeover of Gaza by Hamas, which left the Palestinian territories in crisis. The United States and larger international community are contemplating a "West Bank First" strategy to bolster the position of President Abbas' Fatah party and the emergency government he assembled in the West Bank, which does not include any Hamas members. While some view this as a promising step forward in order to isolate Hamas, others warn that the strategy will further polarize the Palestinian people and result in greater violence in the future, undermining the confidence the Palestinian people have in a democratic process.
