　　Rival Palestinian factions Hamas and Fatahannounced Wednesday they will soon begin talks toform a unity government.

　　"An agreement has been reached on the formation within five weeks of an interim governmentheaded by President [Mahmoud Abbas]," said Ismail Haniya, prime minister of the Hamasgovernment as he addressed people in Gaza.

　　The two enclaves have been politically divided since 2007, when Hamas split from the PalestinianAuthority and took power in Gaza. The militant group has accused President Abbas of beingtoo weak in dealing with Israel and its western allies. Numerous attempts at reconciliationhave failed.

　　Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki Wednesday said the Palestine Liberation Organizationis making a serious effort to end the division.

　　"What I want to say is that when we sent the PLO delegation to Gaza our goal was to reach anagreement. There was no tactic attempt or any game; it is all about a real work to finish thedivision," said al-Maliki.

　　Israel reacted angrily to the announcement. The Hamas-ruled enclave has refused torecognize Israel, and the two sides have traded bloody cross-border attacks. Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday accused President Abbas of sabotaging peace talks.

　　"We're trying to re-launch the negotiations with the Palestinians. Every time we get to thatpoint, Abu Mazen (Mahmoud Abbas) stacks on additional condition, which he knows that Israelcannot give. So instead of moving into peace with Israel, he's moving into peace with Hamas.And he has to choose. Does he want peace with Hamas or peace with Israel? You can have onebut not the other. I hope he chooses peace; so far he hasn't done so," said Netanyahu.

　　Israel and the United States consider Hamas a terrorist organization. The United States ismediating talks between Israel and the Palestinian government in the West Bank.

　　State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the Palestinian announcement jeopardizes thecontinuation of that fragile peace process.

　　"Any Palestinian government must unambiguously and explicitly commit to non-violence,recognition to the state of Israel, an acceptance to previous agreements and obligationsbetween the parties. This announcement, the timing was troubling and we were certainlydisappointed in the announcement," said Psaki.

　　But many Palestinians, tired of being divided, celebrated the news of possible reunification.
