tensions between fatah and hamas reached a new high, with fighting between the factions wednesday night in gaza.
the regular security forces, controlled by fatah, have been accused by members of hamas to be corrupt and inadequate. hamas has set up their own security forces, the islamic resistance movement, to “put an end to efforts to portray the government as incapable of dealing with the security situation,” according to interior minister saeed siyam.
there have been numerous fights between the two security forces since the islamic resistance movement started patrolling the streets last wednesday.
many officials fear that the situation will escalate into a full-blown civil war in palestine.
the palestinian authority is facing financial ruin, since most foreign aid has been halted after hamas came to power through elections last january. many government workers have not been paid for months.
yesterday, a top hamas official was arrested while trying to smuggle $815,000 into gaza from egypt. sami abu zuhri was trying to circumvent the economic restrictions on the hamas-run government, ny hiding the money underneath his clothing.
president mahmoud abbas, fatah, whose party has control of the border, has ordered an inquiry into the matter. zuhri has been released into hamas custody, but the money has been seized by the forces loyal to abbas.
hamas authorities have demanded the money be returned to them, saying that it was intended to serve as relief for the palestinian people and prisoners.

here is some data from the israeli and palestinian conflict...
i don't like white cars that much either, but damn. pelting the owner with huge rocks is just overkill.
60-minutes reports. without a separate palestinian state, is israel to be doomed by demographics rather than violence. are settlers inadvertently undercutting their own existence?
the united states and the european union yesterday formally suspended projects and aid that might benefit the hamas-led palestinian government in a bid to pressure the radical islamic group to recognize israel and renounce violence. the u.s. aid cut was especially dramatic, with a freeze or termination of about half of $600 million that congress had appropriated to assist the palestinians.
after more than a decade of sustained effort by the united states and european governments to build up palestinian institutions and infrastructure, the parallel announcements represent a sudden retrenchment by the international community from the life of the palestinians.
hamas leaders, who unexpectedly triumphed in legislative elections earlier this year, decried the actions as "blackmail," saying they were designed to punish the palestinians for their electoral choices. the united states and the european union have designated hamas, known formally as the islamic resistance movement, a terrorist organization.
the european union, the largest donor to the cash-strapped palestinian authority, announced it had halted direct payments to the government and would consider other steps when foreign ministers of the 25-nation organization meet in luxembourg on monday.
meanwhile, as expected, the state department detailed its plan to curtail assistance, though officials also sought to soften the impact by emphasizing a relatively modest increase in humanitarian aid.
the state department documents indicate that about $600 million had been appropriated by congress in recent years for the palestinians that had not yet been spent. under the new allocations, the united states will suspend or cancel $411 million in planned programs, including road and water projects, small-business development, and electoral support.
