THANKS, WIKILEAKS:

'Fatah asked Israel to attack Hamas before Gaza takeover' (YAAKOV KATZ , 12/21/2010 , Jerusalem Post)

Top Fatah members aligned with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas asked Israel to attack Hamas ahead of its violent takeover of the Gaza Strip in the summer of 2007, Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) chief Yuval Diskin told the American ambassador to Israel, according to a US diplomatic cable published on Monday by Wikileaks.

The disclosure could embarrass Abbas and his Fatah movement, which Hamas has accused of working with the Israelis.

Accused?
