The Arabs states and other members of the international community are ready to end their boycott of the Palestinian Authority even if it does not recognize Israel.

This is the guarantee PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas has given to his people, according to a statement Tuesday by Hamas' senior spokesman in Gaza, Ismail Radwan.

All that is required is that the technocrats appointed to fill the ministerial posts in a re-constructed PA not be affiliated with any political group.

This is to say that they must not be card-carrying members of Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad or the PLO.

In reality this is just more smoke and mirrors which, if carried through, will spell another diplomatic victory for the Arab side.

After its landslide election win last January, Hamas will remain in de facto control of the PA, whether or not its ministers step down.
