Abbas: Palestinians on verge of civil war, says infighting worse than occupation
None
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas warned Tuesday that his people are on the verge of civil war and said the infighting is worse than living under Israeli military rule.
Israel's capture of the West Bank, Gaza and parts of Jerusalem in the 1967 Mideast War was a ''black day'' for the Palestinians, who paid a heavy price for defeat, Abbas said in a televised speech. ''Regarding our internal situation, what concerns us all is the chaos, and more specifically, being on the verge of civil war,'' Abbas said. (AP)
