Hamas Election Gains Upset Fatah
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - The ruling Fatah faction is having difficulty coming to terms with the gains made by Hamas in last week's local elections. The PA has decided to postpone the announcement of the final results pending an investigation into allegations of irregularities and fraud. This has worried Hamas leaders, who fear that Fatah will try to change the results of the elections in its favor. Political analyst Talal Okal noted that it was absurd that a ruling party should accuse the opposition of fixing the elections.
