Hamas Would Win PA Elections in West Bank
(Israel Hayom) Daniel Siryoti - Senior security officials from Israel, Jordan, and the PA confirm that security coordination and intelligence cooperation are operating with "Swiss clock" precision. PA President Mahmoud Abbas told the UN last month that PA elections would lead to Hamas defeating Fatah and seizing control of the Palestinian Authority. Hamas would then quickly and brutally oust Fatah officials from all government agencies, ministries, and the PA security and intelligence apparatuses. Senior Palestinian officials say recent polls indicate clearly that Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh would beat Abbas for the presidency by a considerable margin. One official told Israel Hayom: "There will not be a general election in the Palestinian Authority, certainly not so long as Abbas is alive."
