Hamas prisoners deal can harm U.S. friends in the region

Con­fus­ing reports of the last Israeli offer regard­ing the pris­on­ers swap deal, Hamas con­sid­ers the Israeli offer but they need more time to dis­cuss the offer with its leader ship in Dam­as­cus. Al-Quds Al-Arabi advises Hamas to reject the 120 pris­on­ers depor­ta­tion pro­posed by the Israelis, because the Pales­tin­ian Author­ity made the same mis­take few years ago when Israel deported PA prisoners.

The “miss­ing link” from the whole story is revealed by Pales­tin­ian news­pa­per Al-Manar saying:

The U.S. admin­is­tra­tion is in con­tin­ues con­tact with the Israeli gov­ern­ment about the pris­on­ers deal, dis­cussing the names of those who will be deported. The U.S. admin­is­tra­tion sees that Hamas terms can harm the “mod­er­ate Arabs” in the region and, therefore.

There is a study sug­gests that Tel Aviv and Wash­ing­ton joined by Cairo and Amman want to dely the release of Pales­tin­ian leader Mar­wan Bargh­outi, who in his release will elim­i­nate Mah­moud Abbas’ influ­ence in Fatah and the Pales­tin­ian Author­ity, strengthen to Fatah move­ment ties with both Syria, Hamas and Hezbollah.

Not only a new threat to Israel, but as a result, Barghouti’s new lead­er­ship will weaken the Egypt­ian role in the Pales­tin­ian con­flict, and an addi­tional bur­den Jordan’s security.
