SHARM EL-SHEIK, Egypt — Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas warned Sunday that the raging power-struggle between Palestinian factions must not deteriorate into civil war. Abbas spoke after meeting with Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Egypt _ his first high-level meeting with an Israeli official since the Islamic militant Hamas took control of the Palestinian government in March.
"Civil war is the red line that nobody dares cross, no matter which side they are on ... Civil war is forbidden," Abbas said. | Well, that ought to do it. |
