GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Gunmen armed with mortars and grenades fought in several areas of Gaza City on Saturday, killing two men on the third straight day of factional clashes linked to the power struggle over the Palestinian government.
The deaths brought to 20 the number of Palestinians killed since late Thursday, and at least 66 people were wounded, medical officials said. The rival Hamas and Fatah movements traded angry accusations, and each held several supporters of the other side hostage.
The violence froze talks about bringing Fatah into the Hamas-led government, negotiators said. Fatah's leader, moderate Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, said he would go ahead with his plan to call early elections if the coalition negotiations fail to produce results within two to three weeks.
The Gaza fighting, which started late Thursday, was among the deadliest in nearly two months.
Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas called for calm, but in a clear jab at Abbas, criticized "troublemakers who are trying to veer away from the path of our people" by receiving "dirty American funding and arms." The U.S. recently pledged more than $80 million to help bolster Abbas' forces.
Streets in the hardest-hit neighborhoods were deserted Saturday, and only bakeries and grocery stores open for business. Al Azhar University called off exams, and the Interior Ministry told its employees to go home.
A gun battle erupted Saturday near the Islamic University, killing one man, according to hospital officials. In a firefight elsewhere in the city, a Palestinian policeman was killed.
Before dawn Saturday, Hamas gunmen fired mortars at the Abbas-allied Preventive Security Service headquarters and at the home of the force's chief, Rashid Abu Shbak, officials said.
In fighting around the compound on Friday, six Hamas gunmen were killed and a seventh died Saturday of wounds sustained in that battle, said Hamas spokesman Ayman Taha. He accused Fatah loyalists of storming a mosque near the security headquarters and executing a senior Hamas activist inside while he was reading the Quran, the Muslim holy book.
Fatah denied it had stormed the mosque, but said Hamas gunmen had used the building as a base for attacking the security headquarters.
Mediators from two small factions, meanwhile, tried to win the release of hostages taken by the two sides; Fatah was holding 23 Hamas supporters, while Hamas held about 16 Fatah loyalists hostage, officials from the two groups said. Kidnappings have become a common tactic during the infighting. In all cases so far, hostages have been released unharmed.
Tensions have been high since Hamas swept parliamentary elections in January 2006, ending four decades of Fatah rule.
In its election campaign, Hamas promised to root out corruption and improve social services, but its government has been paralyzed by an international boycott and has struggled to pay the salaries of 165,000 civil servants, including some 80,000 members of the security forces, most loyal to Abbas.
A senior Abbas aide said Saturday that the president will start paying some security forces' salaries.
The aide, Rafiq Husseini, said Abbas will pay the salaries from a fund of $152 million, including $100 million in tax rebates recently transferred by Israel, which froze the money after Hamas took power.
Israel and Western donors have cut off hundreds of millions of dollars in funding to the Palestinian government, demanding Hamas renounce violence and recognize Israel's right to exist. Hamas has rejected the conditions, despite deepening poverty in the West Bank and Gaza caused by the sanctions.
The international community has rerouted some of the aid to the moderate Abbas.
Seeking a way out of the crisis, Abbas has called on Hamas to join Fatah in a moderate coalition government. Abbas, who was elected separately, hopes a moderate platform will get the sanctions lifted and allow him to restart peace talks with Israel.
Abbas has threatened to order early elections, but Hamas has said it would boycott a new vote. Abbas' threat to call new elections, along with the deadlock in unity talks, has fueled the factional violence. A poll published Saturday indicated Palestinians are evenly divided over the election plan.

The U.S. business magazine "Forbes" [11] ranked Arafat as sixth on its 2003 list "Kings, Queens and Despots" [12], estimating his personal wealth to "at least $300 million", without indicating its source for this claim.
In 2003 the International Monetary Fund (IMF) conducted an audit of the Palestinian Authority and stated that Arafat diverted $900 million in public funds to a special bank account controlled by Arafat and the PA Chief Economic Financial Advisor. However, the IMF did not claim that there were any improprieties and it specifically stated that most of the funds have been used to invest in Palestinian assets, both internally and abroad. [13]
In 2003 a team of American accountants — hired by Arafat's own finance ministry — began examining Arafat's finances. The team claimed that part of the Palestinian leader's wealth was in a secret portfolio worth close to $1 billion — with investments in companies like a Coca-Cola bottling plant in Ramallah, a Tunisian cell phone company and venture capital funds in the U.S. and the Cayman Islands. The head of the investigation stated that "although the money for the portfolio came from public funds like Palestinian taxes, virtually none of it was used for the Palestinian people; it was all controlled by Arafat. And none of these dealings were made public". Though Arafat has always lived modestly, Dennis Ross, former Middle East negotiator for Presidents Bush and Clinton, stated that Arafat's "walking-around money" financed a vast patronage system known as neopatrimonialism). According to Salam Fayyad, a former World Bank official who Arafat appointed finance minister in 2002, Arafat's commodity monopolies could accurately be seen as gouging his own people, "especially in Gaza which is poorer, which is something that is totally unacceptable and immoral." [14] According to Hanan Ashrawi, a former member of Arafat's cabinet "Getting Mr. Arafat to hand over the holdings was like pulling teeth. Mr. Arafat gave in to pressure from aid donors such as the European Union and from his finance minister, Salam Fayyad, the IMF's former representative in the territories. They demanded that Mr. Arafat turn over the investments as a condition of further aid." [15]
An investigation by the European Union into claims that EU funds were misused by the Palestinian Authority has found no evidence that funds were diverted to finance terrorist activities. The EU "remains convinced that deepening reform in the PA and improving its financial management and audit capacities is the best preventive strategy against the misuse of funds and corruption. The reform of the financial management of the PA is the objective of several key conditions attached to the EU financial assistance." [16] Fuad Shubaki, former financial aide to Arafat, told the Israeli Shin Bet that Arafat used several million dollars of aid money to buy weapons and support militant groups. [17]
Claims by unnamed sources in the PA Finance Ministry stated that Arafat's wife, Suha, receives a stipend of $100,000 each month from the PA budget. In an interview with the London-based newspaper Al Hayat, Mrs. Arafat accused Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon of spreading rumors about money-laundering involved the transfer of funds to herself to distract media attention away from corruption allegations against himself.
In October 2003, French government prosecutors opened a money-laundering probe of Suha Arafat after Tracfin alerted the prosecutors to untaxed transfers of nearly $1.27 million each with some regularity from Switzerland to Mrs. Arafat's accounts in Paris.

je vais te repondre comme ci :
tu connais annouar essadate ? Il a pris une decision pour regler le probleme israelien , n est ce pas ?
du moment que lui ( saddate) en est satisfait , il s en foutait de ce que les autres en pensait .Il a fait le bon choix ( je sais il en est mort aussi ) , il a assuré la paix pour son peuple et a reussi a recevoir le Sinai qui lui appartenait .
Monsieur arafat prend une decision et puis cette decision ne plait pas a quelqu un en syrie disant assad ,alors il change de decision , puis en prend une qui ravit la syrie , mais ne plait pas a la jordanie , alors arafat doit changer encore une fois ,puis c est au tour de l arabie seoudite ..etc etc etc etc
Pourquoi , essayer de faire plaisir aux autres !
Quand tu choisis ta femme ou ton mari , est ce que tu vas demander aux voisins ou a un oncle lointain si tu as fait le bon choix ou pas ?
ALllez faut pas deconner !
vas y , si tu aimes la personne , maries toi et puis on n entendra plus de toi , lui il a reussi a nous faire tourner en bourrique pendant une cinquantaine d annees .

pourquoi Tsahal encercle Arafat alors que ce dernier a fait arrêter une dizaine de militants intégristes dans la bande de Gaza et vient d’assigner à résidence Cheikh Yassine, leader historique du Hamas.

Exemple bien mal choisi.Les Israéliens,fourbes à souhait,n'ont quasiment rien respecté de cet accord.
Tu ne précises pas qui est ce "on" et quelle "lune" "on"lui a demandé de ramener.Par conséquent,c'est le flou artistique total.Ce qui est moins flou,c'est ton soutien-même indirect-à l'agresseur israélien...
"et aussi ...
si je te trouve , une video d un journaliste et ami d arafat qui dit que arafat ne cherchait pas la paix avec israel, mais son vrai but etait de faire degager les israeliens d israel ."
Bof.Si c'est ça tes "arguments",ça ne vole pas haut.Retrouve-nous donc la vidéo,on en discutera après.En parlant de journaliste,je te conseille plutôt la lecture d'Enderlin.Edifiante sur la fourberie de tes chouchous israéliens.Ils font semblant de négocier d'un côté et continuent de coloniser de l'autre.Du grand art...
