US warns it will not tolerate fall of Abbas govt
US envoy John Wolf has warned the Palestinians that Washington would not tolerate the collapse of the government of prime minister Mahmud Abbas, Palestinian sources said Sunday. Wolf, the man appointed by US President George W. Bush to oversee the implementation of the so-called road map for peace, talked to the speaker of the Palestinian parliament Ahmad Qorei over the weekend as a stand-off between Abbas and veteran leader Yasser Arafat showed no signs of abating. Qorei has been trying to mediate a compromise between the two one-time allies who have become involved in an increasingly public battle for control of the Palestinian security apparatus.
