Hamas-Fatah Accord: Two Bears In A Dance?

"The late Yitzhak Rabin used to say that the only problem with dancing with a bear is that once you start, you can never let go," writes Aaron David Miller in an essay in Foreign Policy magazine. Rabin, the former Israeli Prime Minister, engaged in a good-faith dance in the early 1990s with then-Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. The result was the Oslo Accords. But, of Wednesday's unity agreement, Miller is skeptical. "An instance," he writes, "of two bears dancing with one another." Miller is a public policy scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and the author of The Much Too Promised Land: America's Elusive Search For Arab-Israeli Peace. He speaks to Michele Norris about the signing of a Palestinian Unity pact by Hamas and Fatah leaders in Egypt ? and what it means for American foreign policy.
