Hamas to boycott early elections
The governing Palestinian movement Hamas has said it will boycott early elections called by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
This news comes as the fragile ceasefire in the region is growing imperiled. There have been a series of clashes between members of Hamas and Fatah in recent days. On Sunday a ceasefire was reported, but outbreaks of violence continued through the night and into Monday.
A member of Mr Abbas' Fatah movement has been shot dead, putting pressure on a day-old truce with its rival Hamas.
Fatah members blamed the attack in Jabaliya refugee camp, northern Gaza - which also injured at least three people - on gunmen from Hamas.
Fighting between the two factions has paralysed the administration.
