Hamas militia to leave Gaza after deal with Abbas
2006-06-15
Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh reached an agreement with President Mahmoud Abbas on Wednesday to remove a Hamas militia from the streets of Gaza and to integrate the force into the regular police. Haniyeh, speaking to reporters after the two leaders met, gave no timeframe for withdrawing the paramilitary unit and integrating it into the police. The 3,000-member force had previously withdrawn from the streets but redeployed soon after, exacerbating tensions with Abbas's Fatah movement.

Under the agreement reached after more than two hours of talks, Haniyeh said members of the Hamas force would "begin their integration into the police so they can be part of the security institution".Scores of protesters stormed the Palestinian parliament building, pushing their way into the legislative chamber to demand long overdue wages from the Hamas-led government. A Western aid boycott since Hamas came to power in March has prevented the new government from securing enough funds to pay 165,000 government workers or to provide basic services.

hey! Hamas suckers guys! Did you hear that the $20 $100 million they brought in in cash is going to be paid out, but only to Fatah members?
