Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday postponed a planned visit to the Gaza Strip after a new outbreak of violence in the area, officials said. Abbas, of Fatah, had been scheduled to meet with PA Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas in a bid to halt this week's factional fighting. Officials in Abbas's office said the trip would be delayed by at least a day, but gave no firm time for his visit.
The decision came after a new outbreak of infighting and an Israeli air strike in Gaza, and signaled that Abbas's safety could not be guaranteed in Gaza. Abbas aide Saeb Erekat said Abbas was determined to travel to Gaza in the next day or two. "The reason for the trip is to stop the fighting," he said.
Well, good luck with that.
