29-May-11 World View -- New Fatah-Hamas crisis

Greece's hopes of averting default dim further

This morning's key headlines from GenerationalDynamics.com.

New crisis on the road to Fatah-Hamas reconciliation

A major dispute has erupted between the Fatah and Hamas delegations to the talks in Cairo on implementing a Palestinian reconciliation. The dispute is over a procedural matter which will have major consequences, in that it will determine whether Hamas or Fatah has majority control of the government. Al-Ahram

Rafah border crossing opens between Gaza and Egypt

For the first time in four years, the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt opened on Saturday on a permanent basis. According to a Palestinian border official, 450 people crossed from Gaza into Egypt, and only 23 were turned back because of Egyptian security concerns. Males between the ages of 18 and 40 required visas to pass through the crossing, but all others could pass through with no visa. Jerusalem Post

Greece's hopes of averting default dim further

Greece's finance minister is denying a report that international auditors will report next week that Greece has failed to meet any of its fiscal targets, a condition for getting the 12 billion euros on June 29 as the next tranche in last year's EU bailout commitment. The audit report will be published next week, so we should know within a few days. Reuters

UK denies that it's in secret talks to end Libya fighting

Apparently this all came about because an al-Jazeera reporter happened to be on the same plane as a senior Libyan government minister. He told the reporter that he was in Tunisia for secret talks with "British officials," but could say no more. A British official said: "No representatives of HMG, or intermediaries, are involved in negotiations with the Libyan regime about a ceasefire. Our position is clear. Gaddafi must go, so that the Libyan people can determine their own future." Al-Jazeera

Hackers steal sensitive data military contractors' networks

Lockheed Martin Corp, the world's biggest aerospace company and the Pentagon's No. 1 supplier by sales, was hit by an unspecified cyber incident, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Unknown attackers broke into sensitive networks of Lockheed Martin and several other U.S. military contractors. The networks contain data on arms under development, but it's not known how much data was stolen. Reuters
