The Daily Star - Politics - Bush to press Abbas to crack down on terror: "Palestinian officials announcing that parliamentary elections must be delayed, fanning a crisis between the up-and-coming Hamas and Palestinian Abbas' ruling Fatah movement, which fears it will get trounced if the vote is held as planned on July 17.
The election commission said once Parliament passes a long overdue election law, it will need at least two more months to prepare for the vote. Hamas, which has threatened to cancel a four-month cease-fire with Israel over the dispute, said the Palestinian Authority is trying to bypass the people."
