Fears Growing for Abbas's Safety
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - "We're very worried for [Abbas's] safety because of the campaign of incitement waged against him by Hamas and several other groups," said a senior PA official in Ramallah. The official threatened that the PA will launch a "Fallujah-style" operation against Hamas and its supporters if the movement continues its verbal offensive against Abbas. In Damascus, Hamas official Moussa Abu Marzouk said Abbas's call for an end to rocket attacks serves the interests of Israeli Prime Minister Sharon. Meanwhile, PA Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei claimed that Israel has prepared a plan to destroy next week's election. Speaking in Ramallah during a meeting with Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul, he said IDF operations in the Gaza Strip "prove that Israel is carrying out a plan to sabotage the vote."
