PA Rejects Quartet Call to Dismantle Militias
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas on Wednesday rejected an appeal from the Quartet to dismantle armed militias and called on the international community to stop meddling in the Palestinians' internal affairs. Ministers of the Quartet said in a joint statement Tuesday that following Israel's pullout from Gaza, Palestinians needed to "dismantle terrorist capabilities and infrastructures." Hatem Abdel Kader, a legislator representing the ruling Fatah faction, said, "The Quartet is not authorized to make such a demand."
