As Fatah and Hamas inch towards creating a unity government in Palestine, we must now urge all "interested" parties to help pile more pressure and encouragement on them. This is clearly a window of positive opportunity which should/must not be blown. We have a very strange way of blowing great chances in this long-running conflict, don't we! Let's make amends this time.

And here we call on the Quartet, Israel, Arab League and the African Union (which has very long standing relations and empathy for the PLO).

Then we must add US Democratic Party leaders, for obvious reasons.

Finally, the media must keep tabs and stay with the story...holding all to account, speaking truth to power. No more, no less.

The key is...PEACE. The love of peace. And the peace of loving peace.
