Last May, he signed an initial reconciliation agreement with Fatah in Cairo, which committed Hamas to a Palestinian unity government, called for a cessation of violence, and accepted the notion of a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders. Mashal also offered Abbas a one-year mandate for negotiations with Israel, and, unlike Haniyeh, supported recent Israeli-Palestinian “exploratory talks” in Jordan.
而玛沙尔则恰恰相反。在去年五月，这位变革力量的代理人在开罗与法塔赫草签了一份和解协议，承诺要将哈马斯整合到一个巴勒斯坦联合政府之下，呼吁停止暴力行动，并接受在1967年边界基础上建立巴勒斯坦国的安排。玛沙尔同时还给予阿巴斯一年的授权去和以色列谈判，还与哈尼耶背道而驰，支持最近在约旦进行的以巴“探索性谈话”。
