From Palestine…
- Hamas militias order Palestinian security forces to hand over their weapons
- Fatah suspends its role in the government until fighting ceases; Hamas accuses Fatah of “political blackmailing”
- Hamas praises siege of security posts in Gaza, says security forces serve Israel
- RPG fired at Haniyeh’s houses, mortars fired at Abbas’ office
- Gazans take to the streets in protest against the fighting; demo marred by gunfire
- Gaza clashes continue: at least 14 killed Wednesday; bomb tears through security HQ
- Patients killed as gunmen storm Gaza hospitals, ICRC and other aid agencies report
- UNRWA suspends operations in Gaza following death of two workers
- Fatah gives Hamas 12 hours to end attacks in Gaza
Then what?
Abbas: I will take “necessary steps” if the infighting in Gaza is not halted. And what are those “necessary steps?” I doubt that he himself knows!
It’s getting pretty ugly there!
