The bitter rivalry between the Hamas terror group and Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party has become increasingly violent, with salvos launched on each side of the divide.

A top Abbas advisor claims 'there is suspicious and dangerous coordination' between Israel and Hamas, accusing the Jewish state of collaborating with the terrorist group in an improbable scheme to 'assassinate' the Palestinian leader.

The biggest losers from the Palestinians' internal bloodletting are the Palestinian civilians living under corrupt leaders in the PA and Hamas-ruled Gaza.

Abbas is opposed to a US-sponsored draft resolution asking the UN to condemn Hamas terror. Why is the PA leader defending his rival?
