POLL: 80% OF PALIS DON'T TRUST ABBAS OR HANIYEH

Most Palestinians Don't Trust Either Fatah's Abbas or Hamas' Haniyeh - Khaled Amayreh (Al-Ahram-Egypt)
The showdown between Fatah and Hamas continues to poison the collective psyche of the Palestinian people. According to a recent survey conducted by a credible pollster based in Jerusalem, nearly 80% of respondents said they didn't trust either Abbas or Haniyeh.

Last week, a close aide to Abbas intimated to Al-Ahram that up to 22,000 young Palestinians have filed immigration applications, with many citing the depressive aftereffects of the enduring crisis between Fatah and Hamas as their reason for seeking futures elsewhere.
