Egypt gives up on Palestinian unity.
What's funny is that the more they "negotiate", the farther they drive apart from each other. Neither Hamas nor Fatah are willing to compromise on anything with each other.
Why on earth would anyone blackmail Israel into "negotiating" with people who can't even reach a compromise among themselves?

(Haaretz) Egypt has ceased efforts to mediate the formation of a national unity government between the rival Palestinian factions Hamas and Fatah, Israel Radio reported on Saturday.
Officials who met with the senior echelon of Egyptian intelligence said that Cairo is instead proposing that two separate governments — the Hamas regime in Gaza and the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority in the West Bank — continue to function until general elections are held.
A sixth round of Egyptian-brokered talks between Fatah, which controls Palestinian-administered areas of the West Bank, and Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, adjourned without agreement two weeks ago. Another round is scheduled for July 25.
