Hamas, the Palestinian Authority’s rival in Gaza, will undoubtedly try to thwart Abbas’s effort. An organization like Hamas, which supports permanent war – and with which Israel negotiated for five years for the release of one abducted Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit, in exchange for more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners – is exactly the enemy that Israel needs to justify its hardline stance.
巴勒斯坦权力机构在加沙的对手哈马斯肯定会阻碍阿巴斯的大计。像哈马斯这样的支持持久战（且以色列花了5年时间与其谈判释放被其绑架的以色列士兵沙利特（Gilad Shalit）并愿意以1 000多名巴勒斯坦囚犯作为交换）的组织，才是以色列需要为证明其强硬立场所要对付的敌手。
