Abbas threatens to dissolve Palestinian unity government

(JNS.org) Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas threatened to dissolve the unity government between his Fatah faction and Hamas. “Hamas must recognize that the West Bank and Gaza are a single unit, with one legal system and one weapons policy,” Abbas said at a press conference in Cairo over the weekend. “If Hamas does not accept these conditions, I will announce to the foreign ministers at the Arab League conference that I am concerned about proceeding with this risky process and that I will be suspending the reconciliation deal with Hamas and dissolving the unity government,” he said.
