Candidate Asks Gaza Militants to Stop 'Useless' Attacks on Israelis
By GREG MYRE
JERUSALEM, Jan. 2 - Mahmoud Abbas, the favorite in the impending Palestinian presidential election, visited the northern Gaza Strip on Sunday and called on militants to stop firing rockets at Israel, labeling the attacks "useless." His remarks came just hours after the latest salvos prompted a brief Israeli raid into the area.
With the Palestinian election just a week away, Israel sent dozens of tanks and other armored vehicles into Gaza early Sunday. Israeli forces and Palestinian gunmen exchanged fire throughout the day, but the Israeli troops pulled back after nightfall, the military said. No deaths were reported in the clashes.
On Sunday evening, Mr. Abbas, the chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization, campaigned in Jabaliya, just a few miles from the Israeli troops, who were still lingering on the outskirts of the town. He criticized both the Palestinian rocket fire and the Israeli raid.
Mr. Abbas urged the militants to refrain from further attacks, saying they were counterproductive. "I say to them, 'This is not the time for this kind of act,' " he said. "Do not give Israel more reason to attack us."
Mr. Abbas said Israeli incursions could undermine the vote next week. Israel has said it intends to pull back its forces at least 24 hours before the Jan. 9 election, as long as Israelis are not under attack.
Mr. Abbas, dressed in his customary dark suit, again drew large numbers of supportive Palestinian gunmen at a rally earlier in the day in Deir al-Balah, in central Gaza. He said the Palestinian leadership would seek to protect militants wanted by Israeli forces.
"We won't relax until they enjoy security and safety and a decent life and can live in their country with total freedom," he said.
Palestinian security officials have sought to prevent the gunmen from firing into the air at such rallies, but to little avail. On Sunday, the shooting started as soon as Mr. Abbas left.
Mr. Abbas appears to have improved his standing among Palestinian militants by making supportive comments in recent days. However, such remarks are somewhat at odds with his image as a pragmatist who has been critical of Palestinian attacks against Israel.
Mr. Abbas is favored by 65 percent of voters, compared with 22 percent for his closest challenger, Dr. Mustafa Barghouti, according to a poll released Sunday by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research. The poll had a margin of error of 3 percentage points.
Senior Israeli officials have generally refrained from commenting on Mr. Abbas's campaign speeches, saying they are more interested in the postelection period.
"Whoever gets elected on Jan. 9 will be judged according to his performance, not according to his words," said Raanan Gissin, a spokesman for Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.
In the early hours of Sunday, Israeli troops pulled out of Khan Yunis in southern Gaza, ending a three-day operation that was directed against Palestinian mortar fire. Twelve Palestinians, most of them armed men, were killed, Palestinians said.
In northern Gaza, Palestinians have fired at least seven rockets and a number of mortars in the past three days, the Israeli military said. An Israeli civilian was seriously wounded in an industrial zone on Gaza's northern border, and an Israeli woman was wounded in the town of Sederot, just outside Gaza's perimeter fence.
Israel has staged repeated raids in the past few years in an attempt to end the rocket fire, but at best the operations have only temporarily reduced the number of rocket launches.
On Sunday, the Israeli armored vehicles, estimated at 40 to 50, took positions on the outskirts of three Palestinian communities, Jabaliya, Beit Hanun and Beit Lahiya, before pulling back after dark.
In another development on Sunday, Mr. Sharon said he intended to hold a cabinet vote this month, rather than in March, on withdrawing the 8,000 Jewish settlers from Gaza.
Mr. Sharon told his cabinet that the settlers should be given five or six months notice ahead of the actual evacuation, according to a statement released by his office.
The government gave initial approval for the Gaza withdrawal plan last fall. The evacuation is tentatively planned for this summer.
