| Fatah is the majority party of the Palestine Liberation Organization, which is fig-leafed for popular consumption as the Palestinian Authority, of course. |
The ruling Paleostinian Fatah faction on Saturday warned Hamas against reaching a cease-fire agreement with Israel in return for humanitarian and economic aid to the Gazoo Strip and said such a deal would be a "free gift to Israel."
The warning came amid unconfirmed reports that Israel and Hamas were close to reaching a long-term truce agreement.
