More significantly, perhaps, on Monday Abbas concluded an agreement with Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas, to form a government of national unity, on a political platform that includes the 2002 Beirut proposal of the Arab League - a document that offers Israel full peace with the Arab world in exchange for a withdrawal to its 1967 borders...
