| Hamas Wants Fayad's Head |
| 2009-03-25 |
| Hamas announced on Tuesday that it was planning to press charges against Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Salaam Fayad for "collaboration" with Israel and "squandering" public funds. Hamas's threat to prosecute Fayad is likely to hamper Egypt's efforts to end the power struggle between the Islamist movement and Fatah. especially since Egypt and the US like Fayad and consider him the least corrupt and least terror loving PA official of any consequence Fayad could either be charged in absentia (in Gaza), or arrested if he decides to enter the Strip. Earlier this month, Fayad submitted his resignation to PA President Mahmoud Abbas, saying he did not want to be an obstacle to the establishment of a unity government. His resignation is scheduled to go into effect at the end of this month. Hamas leaders have repeatedly stressed that they would stay away from any government headed by Fayad. |
