Hamas and Fatah sign reconciliation agreement

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-13277734

Quote:

The leaders of Fatah and Hamas, the main Palestinian factions, have signed a deal in Cairo aimed at ending their four-year rift.
Palestinian president and Fatah party leader Mahmoud Abbas said Palestinians had decided to "turn the dark page of division for ever".
Mr Abbas and Hamas's Khaled Meshaal had not met since the expulsion of Fatah from Gaza in 2007.

Now I wonder what brought this on?The unrest across the Arab speaking nations?Or something else entirely?:scratch:

No wonder the Israelis are annoyed with this, afterall it goes against their "divide and rule" policy.
