Leftists-for-Rightists: "Various Palestinian left-leaning factions have been holding meetings in the West Bank city of Ramallah recently in order to discuss their position vis-à-vis the Palestinian president's decision to declare an emergency government following Hamas' takeover of the Gaza Strip. In their meetings, the factions agreed almost unanimously to demonstrate their support for President Abbas during this current crisis. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), however, did not expressly declare its unilateral agreement and the Palestinian National
Initiative (PNI) also left its position vague and unclear." (thanks Regan)
