Unity is strength.

Salam Fayyad has just resigned as Palestinian Authority [in the West Bank] P.M, a move designed to pave the way for unity between Palestinian Factions.

It is not clear as yet how the West, including Israel view this move.. one that is necessary, even vital to achieving a viable two- state solution.

For Abu Mazen Palestinian Authority president, there is perhaps a significant opportunity.. an opportunity to project strong leadership, something which has eluded him for much of his presidency.

Abu Mazen must quickly become a voice for a united Palestine.

Whilst actively seeking the uniting of the different Palestinian factions, he must make clear to the rest of the world that if they truly want to deal with him, they would have no choice but deal with a united Palestine.
