巴勒斯坦派系同意組織聯合政府

Rival Palestinian factions Fatah and Hamas have agreed to form a unity government led by current President Mahmoud Abbas.A Palestinian official said Monday the agreement was reached at a meeting in official said the deal calls for Mr. Abbas to assume the role of prime minister, replacing Western-backed Salam Fayyad. It was not immediately clear when the new government will be formed.

巴勒斯坦兩個對立派系法塔赫和哈馬斯同意組成一個由現任民族權利機構主席阿巴斯領導的聯合政府。一位巴勒斯坦官員星期一說，此項協議在卡塔爾的一次會議上達成。這位官員說，協議呼籲阿巴斯擔任總理職務，替換西方國家支持的薩拉姆·法耶茲。目前還不清除新政府將在何時組建。

Hamas and Fatah first agreed to form a unity government in May of last year. Hamas rules the Gaza Strip, while Fatah heads the more moderate Palestinian Authority in the West Bank. Hamas, an Islamic militant group regarded by the West as a terrorist organization, won a landslide victory in Palestinian elections in 2006. It took over Gaza from forces loyal to Mr. Abbas's Fatah movement in 2007, after months of factional unrest.

哈馬斯和法塔赫去年5月同意組建聯合政府。哈馬斯統治加沙地帶，法塔赫在約旦河西岸領導較爲溫和的巴勒斯坦民族權力機構。哈馬斯是一個伊斯蘭激進團體，被西方國家視爲恐怖組織。哈馬斯在2006年巴勒斯坦選舉中取得壓倒性勝利。經過幾個月的派系鬥爭後，哈馬斯從忠於阿巴斯的法塔赫運動的軍隊手中接管加沙地帶。
