"there is no US component to this issue."

Other than taking the order, supplying the arms, and pressuring Israel to allow the deliveries, noe of which is "official" of course. Wonder if Hamas will hijack this arms delivery as they did the last.

"According to one high-ranking official, while the weapons would be delivered to Fatah, they would eventually find their way to Hamas. "

This sounds like a legitimate reason to deny the weapons to Fatah. Anybody over there have any idea if it is plausible?

I favor the delivery of weapons to Gaza - and to all parties there. Single-use weapons, used immediately upon delivery, like cluster bombs, napalm, bunker-buster bombs, helicopter-fired rockets and laser-guided anti-armor munitions, etc. Preferably delivered as a surprise gift, all at once. Then they won’t even need to worry about the AKs.
