The overall deprivations are estimated to render Gaza uninhabitable by 2020.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tHamas has shunned contacts with Israel, while the Palestinian Authority maintains security coordination with Tel Aviv.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe coordination and whether Hamas would subject its security forces to the Palestinian Authority command have persistently thrown off the prospect of reconciliation between the Palestinian factions.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Sunday statement stopped short at offering information about either issue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>madaresharghi Hamas said it has accepted \u2018key\u2019 reconciliation conditions offered by rival Fatah party\u2019s head Mahmoud Abbas, including nationwide elections in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
