Abbas calls for Palestinian poll

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has called for presidential and parliamentary elections to be held at the "earliest opportunity".
He was speaking live on Palestinian TV after days of escalating tensions between Hamas and his Fatah movement that have raised fears of civil war.

Hamas, elected in January, immediately rejected his call as " a coup attempt".

Western donors have suspended direct aid over Hamas's refusal to recognise Israel and renounce violence.

" I decided ...to call for early presidential and parliament elections," Mr Abbas said at the end of a major policy speech in Ramallah.

He blamed Hamas for the current crisis, saying their stance had provoked Western sanctions.

▲アッバス議長が混乱の収拾を目的とした早期選挙の実現をラマラで演説。ハマスは当然これを拒否。選挙時期など明確な点は決まっていないようだが、この選挙がゲバ闘争に拍車をかける可能性が非常に高い。大丈夫だろうか？（大丈夫じゃないよな）
