1. (C) On February 13, poloff delivered the talking points in
reftel to Miriam Fonseca, Director of the Foreign Ministry's
Middle East, Africa and Asia section. Fonseca was
sympathetic to the USG concerns, and said that the GON, like
everyone else, is waiting to see what sort of Palestinian
Authority government will be formed in the aftermath of the
recent elections. Fonseca noted that Hamas had been
surprised by the extent of its victory, and will now have to
make unanticipated adjustments to the responsibilities of
government. Fonseca will discuss the USG points with Foreign
Minister Caldera and decide how the GON can best make its
views known on the issue.


2. (C) Noting that Nicaragua enjoys forma|d.ZQ, and
highlight international concerns regarding the policies of
the new Palestinian Authority government. Fonseca noted that
Mauqqat has only been in his post in Managua for a month, but
that he already seems a much more refined, pragmatic
individual than his predecessor, who had a reputation for
dogmatism and intransigence. Because Mauqqat is al Fatah, he
may not last long in Managua, depending on how important
Nicaragua is to the Palestinians.
