Hamas vanquishes Fatah in Gaza Strip, moves in on political, security centres

The barbarity that is happening in Gaza right now helps explain why the Egyptians have always refused to accept it back when Israel has offered it. Not even fellow Muslims want to try to control these animals. Only Jimmy Carter could accept a government composed of Hamas murderers. Or Stalin, Mao, etc. What a mess.

Hamas vanquishes Fatah in Gaza Strip, moves in on political, security centres: "Hamas fighters took over two security command centres and vanquished the rival Fatah's movement in the Gaza Strip on Thursday, prompting beleaguered Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to dissolve the Hamas-Fatah unity government.

Hamas also seized control of Rafah in the south, Gaza's third-largest city, according to witnesses and security officials. It was the second main Gaza city to fall to the militants, who captured nearby Khan Younis on Wednesday, and gave Hamas control of the porous border with Egypt, which has been the source of arms smuggling.

Abbas of Fatah declared a state of emergency, fired Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas, dissolved the Hamas-Fatah coalition and said he would form a new government.

Abbas, who is considering early elections, considers the Hamas fighters who have seized control of most of the Fatah-allied security headquarters in Gaza to be an 'outlaw militia,' said his aide, Tayeb Abdel Rahim."
