Sharjah24 – AFP: Thousands of supporters of Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas's Fatah movement, held a rare gathering in the enclave on Wednesday to mark the party's 55th anniversary.
Waving yellow Fatah flags, supporters from across the territory gathered in Gaza City to celebrate the movement founded by the late Yasser Arafat.
Some held photographs of the two former and current political leaders.
West Bank-based Fatah cancelled its anniversary event last year after dozens of its supporters were arrested by Hamas authorities.
"We will not accept elections without Al Quds and without our people... Al Quds is the capital of our state and it is not up for sale or negotiation," Abbas said in a speech aired at the rally.
