It`s here:
"Israel Radio also quoted the official as saying that if Hamas joins a Palestinian unity cabinet but does not accept the conditions of the Quartet"

So Hamas can form a unity govt with Fatah, but so long as the CABINET consists of apparachiks then that`s A-OK as far as the Americans are concerned.

That they might only be front men taking their orders from Hamas - and dependent upon Hamas for their position - is immaterial.

Doesn`t this remind people of Lebanon, and Hezbollah`s veto over the deliberations of the Siniora cabinet?
