Abbas vows to impose order in chaotic Gaza
Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas told his people in a televised speech today that he would take immediate steps to impose order in chaotic Gaza.
Abbas spoke a day after Israeli forces pulled out of Gaza. Since the withdrawal, Palestinian security forces have tried to prevent scavenging and looting in abandoned Jewish settlements, but have failed in most cases. Security commanders have said they don’t have the manpower to do the job.
