Abbas sacks Palestinian cabinet

I'm not surprised at this, in light of the Palestine Papers and now, the fall of Mubarak in Egypt.

It's not going to do anything to bring Hamas closer, though, and probably won't strengthen the Palestinian Authority's hand within the West Bank that much either. Of course, because the U.S. has warned him not to, and he's afraid of Hamas, there will be no free elections in the West Bank anytime soon, for president.
