I’m shocked to find out that there are assassination plots going on in Gaza. Hamas planned to assassinate Abbas.
Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas canceled a planned visit to the Gaza Strip on Thursday for fear that Hamas militiamen might attack his convoy, PA officials here said.
“The Palestinian security forces have received information according to which Hamas was preparing some kind of an attack on President Abbas’s convoy,” the officials said. “The president has been advised not to travel to the Gaza Strip because of the warnings.”
Meanwhile, Hamas announced an initiative to deploy Arab peace-keeping forces to stop the internecine fighting in the Strip. This is the first time that a Palestinian group has called for deploying Arab troops in the PA territories. The proposal is strongly opposed by Fatah.
I wonder which “Arab peacekeeping forces” are going to come to Hamas’ rescue and help them clean up Gaza?
