RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) - The Palestinian government of President Mahmoud Abbas has dropped the phrase "armed resistance" from its platform, a minister said on Friday, in a further break from Hamas Islamists in control of Gaza.
A spokeswoman for Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert welcomed the move, which coincided with a flurry of diplomatic activity aimed at resuming long-stalled peacemaking.
"In this platform, we are very clear that the armed resistance must come to an end because it has nothing to do with establishing the state," Ashraf al-Ajrami, the Palestinian minister of prisoners affairs, told Reuters.
"Armed resistance and armed struggle are not included in the platform," he said.

I thought this was a major event. Maybe peace could happen.

Or do it confirm my fear that no one wants peace.
 
The thing is. One side saying they will no longer fight might deescalate the conflict, but will it bring closer a final solution?

What about all the settlements in the West Bank? What about Jerusalem? What about the refugees?

"Final Solution"? That rings a bell. :?

There are many issues to resolve.

Discontinuing killing each othere is a good start.
