| Abbas orders review of Hamas-allied groups, NGOs |
| 2007-06-23 |
| Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas on Friday authorized the government to review all private organizations, a step that might enable him to shut down dozens of Hamas-allied groups in the West Bank. Abbas' decree asked the interior minister to review the legal status of all non-governmental organizations, or NGOs. It also gave these groups a week to re-register. |
