Malaysia: Gaza infighting 'benefiting Israel'

Malaysia warned the Hamas and Fatah groups today that their infighting in Gaza was playing into Israel’s hands, and destroying plans for an independent Palestinian state.

Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar called for “give-and-take” between the two rival groups, saying their refusal to share power, and the sacking of Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh, would not resolve the problem.
