For days, feuding gunmen from both parties had engaged in running firefights with each other in Gaza and the West Bank. But this time, there was cause for relief: They were gathering for a wedding. The bride was the daughter of Hamas Foreign Minister Mahmoud al-Zahar, and the guest list included a Who's Who of the Hamas leadership and senior Fatah officials - foes who just a few hours before had been speaking darkly of a civil...
