[israel] palestinian militia a novel move

Israel’s new 1500 armed Jordanian Palestinian soldiers moving into the West Bank and Gaza Strip is to counterbalance the growing power of Hamas and should worsen the internecine violence between rival Palestinian factions. Clearly this is a U.S. ploy and though it would stir up the desired rivalry between the Palestinians, the resultant bloodshed would surely outweigh the benefits in terms of peace for Israel. Still, 1500 is not so many and no doubt they’d be monitored. No doubt also that the counterbalancing of Hezbollah would also be on the drawing board but which Sunni group could do the job?
