Diskin: Fatah has near zero chance of winning PA elections

"Shin Bet chief Yuval Diskin told the cabinet Sunday that should elections be held in the Palestinian Authority, Fatah's chances of winning would be close to zero.

Diskin said during Sunday's weekly cabinet meeting that the Fatah faction is in bad shape, and therefore Israel should expect Hamas to register a sweeping victory
.

The Shin Bet chief also warned the cabinet that should the Israel Defense Forces begin targeting militants who are launching Qassam rockets, the Gaza Strip cease-fire would collapse within days because Hamas would renew its participation in attacks on Israel."
