IDF Chief of Staff predicts a clash between Hamas and Fatah

Dan Halutz was speaking at the annual Herzliya Conference.

He predicts that Fatah will not allow Hamas to win. Given a clean election it is highly likely Hamas would win. The Palestinians are tired of the rampant corruption of the PA.

But - as he points out - violence will also be directed against Israel too.

So here is how it works:
Your neighbors 'A' and 'B' get into a fight.
They attack you - even though you have nothing to do with it.

Kinda maddening isn't it?
