Things are getting uglier in the Palestinian Authority:

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – Violent clashes and mass protests erupted Saturday across the
West Bank and
Gaza Strip between followers of the militant group Hamas and
Fatah rivals, after a Hamas leader accused Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas of treachery.
The two sides traded gunfire and hurled stones and firebombs, escalating a fierce power struggle between militant and moderate factions focused on control over Palestinian security forces.
Abbas said Saturday he would not allow the accusations to plunge the Palestinians into civil war.
