This week in Palestine - a service of the International Middle East Media Center -- for the week of January 7 - 14 2005.
Palestinians elected Mahmoud Abbas as the new Palestinian President on Sunday January 9th, in an election generally seen as free and fair on the Palestinian side, but with a number of obstructions from the Israeli authorities. Israeli military incursions and mass arrests of Palestinians continued, and the Palestinian resistance launched an attack Thursday night at an Israeli border crossing in the Gaza Strip.
