In the Occupied Territories, four Palestinians were killed Thursday in an Israeli raid on the West Bank. Meanwhile in Gaza, violence between the two main Palestinian factions Fatah and Hamas continued today with the killings of at least six people. Earlier today, Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh announced a new agreement with President Mahmoud Abbas to stop the violence.
Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh: “First, rejecting the use of violence as a way to settle internal differences and condemning anyone who would resort to such a method and adopting dialogue as a sole method. Second, withdrawing all gunmen from the streets and deploy police forces to keep law and order.”
