Hamas Said Ready to Accept PA Forces on Gaza Borders
(Times of Israel) Avi Issacharoff - Palestinian factions Hamas and Fatah have agreed in principle that thousands of PA President Mahmoud Abbas' troops will be deployed in Gaza, Palestinian officials said Sunday. The move would mark a significant return of Abbas' forces to Gaza, seven years after Hamas seized the Strip from Fatah in a coup. In theory, Abbas' forces would be deployed on the borders and at crossings. The deal struck Thursday is the sixth official accord between Hamas and Fatah - and concerns over possible new confrontations between the factions remain.
