and then the question -- >> hamas. >> hamas. hamas, actually we've seen a combination of a few things, we've seen to a degree the pressure work. an enormous amount of pressure from the israeli, the egyptians and the past year and a half or so from the p.a. to encourage hamas not to change fundamentally but change the tactics and i don't think hamas will ever change fundamentally on peace but certainly the new leadership in hamas does see an interest in bringing the p.a. back in a meaningful way in the gaza strip. meaningful doesn't mean disarm, probably won't fully disarm but want the p.a. to -- and what they want is a leading role in the west bank and the p.a. in general. what they don't want to do is be subcontractors for garbage in the gaza strip, especially given how terrible things are there. the incentive for hamas i think is relatively easy. they would see the remediation of this kind of role. they would also have an economy that would hopefully be slightly better in the gaza strip. that is better for them. and the harder
