Hamas and Fatah infighting is just additional evidence that the arabs of Gaza and West Bank have no intention of forming a viable government and establishing a constructive society, so it is time that the world/mideast woke up to the illusion that is a "Palestinian State".
Israel is willing to give the Golan Heights back to Syria. So the United Nations should follow suit and immediately step in and assign the Gaza strip to Egypt and have the Egyptian army take possession of that area. All arabs in Gaza would become citizens of Egypt. Then the West Bank (except for those areas behind the current barrier in Israeli control) should be assigned back to Jordan. All arabs in these West Bank areas would become citizens of Jordan (like 1948-1967). At least Jordan and Egypt are established governments, primarily arab populations/language/culture and recognize Israel. Forget Hamas and Fatah altogether. They are both illegitimate.
If at a later date Egypt and Jordan want to entertain a so called "Palestinian State" for those areas that they control, then that would be up to them. (Of course they did not do this in the past when both countries controlled those areas for nearly 20 years.)
