PA Forces Loyal to Abbas Block Hamas PM's Convoy in Gaza
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - PA security officers loyal to Mahmoud Abbas prevented PA Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh's convoy from passing through one of Gaza City's main streets on Saturday. The convoy was stopped outside the offices of the Preventive Security Force, which consists solely of Fatah members, and ordered to turn away. A source in Haniyeh's office said the prime minister was on his way to a meeting with the Chinese representative to the PA. The incident is seen by some Hamas officials as a serious and dangerous escalation in tensions between Haniyeh and Abbas.
