Fatah to stage show of strength
In a show of strength against Hamas, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah movement planned a large anniversary rally today, but Abbas aides said the moderate leader would also give coalition talks with the Islamic militant group another chance.
Fatah supporters were being bussed to the city of Ramallah from across the West Bank to ensure a large turnout, mirroring a Fatah rally that drew tens of thousands in the Gaza Strip last week.
