It's not the normal story you'd see on Israel Today (aka The Spectator)
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has said he will head a Palestinian unity government after a second meeting with rival Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal. The interim government is to prepare polls in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Mr Abbas and Mr Meshaal have been holding talks in Qatar over the reconciliation deal reached in April 2011 and who would head the government.
Correspondents say the issue has been one of the main stumbling blocks to implementing the April agreement.

The Spectator has set up a new Site to replace its late lamented Coffeehouse wall, at;
www.coffeehousewall.co.uk
Where all those whose vile racists who got the original site closed down can do it all over again on a lightly moderated remote mirror.
But is The Spectator legally responsible for the new site?
Does Nelson want to be associated with a new site, named for The Spectator, where such a high risk of incitement to racial hatred is apparent?
Fraser, cacn you please explain to us the rationale for the new site and the Spectator's role therein?

They're probably keeping it around as long as possible to give its respondents time to find the new site and bed themselves therein.

Out of the five bloggers on the right hand side of the page, only two post regularly. Moribund. The staff posts are not much good either. This site needs to up its game.
