Abbas Gets International Backing But Not Full Arab Support
[Albawaba-Jordan] Abbas was surprised not to get full backing from the Arab League. Palestine Liberation Organization executive committee secretary-general Yasser Abed Rabbo said the PLO has rejected an Arab League decision to dispatch a commission to investigate Hamas' seizure of power in Gaza. The PLO headed by Abbas rejected an offer for dialogue with Hamas Saturday, accusing the Islamist movement of "massacres." Abed Rabbo issued a blunt rejection of the olive branch offered by Hamas' exiled political chief, Khaled Meshaal.
