Palestinian factions weigh options after Abbas’ threats
As Palestinian factions hold numerous meetings to discuss ways to counter President Mahmoud Abbas’ threats against Hamas in Gaza, people there grow increasingly worried.
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Gaza Strip citizens and factions are keeping a wary eye on Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who has threatened to take measures in October against Hamas.
