PA Presidential Crisis

"West Bank: Palestinian President to Seek Early Votes"
A13 (World Briefing), Wednesday 11-26-08

This brief and benign article neutrally describes the coming governmental crisis between Fatah and Hamas. Fatah intends to delay Palestinian presidential elections, currently scheduled for January 9, 2009, while Hamas has threatened that "it will no longer recognize the legitimacy of Mr. Abbas" once his term ends on that date.

As this crisis develops, it should receive greater media coverage.
