[middle-east] hamas castigates fatah

Hamas has cautioned Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas of Fatah that he has "no constitutional power allowing him to dissolve the Legislative Council. Hamas expresses deep surprise and disapproval of recurring calls by the Fatah Movement asking President Abbas to dissolve the parliament and hold new presidential and general elections," the statement said. Hamas then called on Fatah to focus efforts on forming a national unity government "and stop making losing bets and wrong choices which will not solve the problem but further aggravate it." Well, that seems promising - Israel must be watching this one like a hawk.
