West Bank Palestinians Protest PA Sanctions Against Gaza Strip
--------------------------------------------------------------

tear gas Wednesday to clear hundreds of protesters calling on
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to end financial sanctions
on the Gaza Strip. The sanctions are aimed at Abbas's rival political
party, Hamas. Protesters say the policy has exacerbated the already
disastrous effects of Israel's siege.
