Lebanon warns Palestinian president that troops may intervene if clashes continue in refugee camp
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas can’t even control the West Bank. What could he possibly do to get the idiots to behave in another country?
[NY Post] Lebanon’s caretaker prime minister called the Palestinian president Thursday to demand an end to the volatile situation in the country’s largest Palestinian refugee camp, warning that Lebanese troops may intervene to stop the fighting that has left dozens dead and wounded.

Najib Mikati’s call with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas came after days of sporadic clashes between Palestinian factions in the Ein el-Hilweh refugee camp near the southern port city of Sidon.

Mikati called the fighting a "flagrant violation of Lebanese sovereignty" and said it was unacceptable for the warring Palestinian groups to "terrorize the Lebanese, especially the people of the south who have embraced the Palestinians for many years," according to a statement released by his office.

His call came as cautious calm returned to the camp and surrounding area Thursday after a night of renewed clashes.

Lebanon’s largest Palestinian refugee camp, which is home to about 50,000 people, has been rocked since Sunday by fierce battles between Abbas’ Fatah party and Islamist groups Jund al-Sham and Shabab al-Muslim.
