| Description | RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) - Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said on Saturday that he expected to form a unity government with the rival Hamas faction this month in the hope of lifting a Western aid embargo.
Addressing tens of thousands of Palestinians after a week in which rancor soared over bloody Israeli military actions in the
Gaza Strip, Abbas called on the Jewish state to talk peace.
"I announce to our people the happy news that we have achieved great progress on the path to establishing a national unity government that can end the siege and open the way toward a political settlement," Abbas said in a speech marking the second anniversary of the death of his predecessor,
Yasser Arafat.
"I expect that, God willing, this government will see the light of day before the end of this month," he said. |
