GAZA, (PIC)-- PA chief Mahmoud Abbas has ordered his officials in Ramallah a day after the Israeli massive air strike on Gaza Strip to form an emergency room grouping the interior minister and security commanders to be ready for taking over control of Gaza affairs when Hamas is toppled, a secret report obtained by the PIC revealed.
It added that Abbas, who was in Cairo and was on his way to Saudi Arabia, said that he would coordinate his stands with the Egyptian regime to confront any changes in Gaza following the IOF military operation.

Meanwhile, sources in Ramallah told the PIC that Nimir Hammad, the advisor to Abbas, had telephoned Amos Gilad, the Israeli coordinator of operations in the occupied territories and the political advisor to war minister Ehud Barak, on Saturday night.
Hammad, according to the sources, told Gilad that his authority believes in Israel's right to strike and liquidate Hamas but asks it to focus its strikes on Hamas headquarters and offices and to avoid civilians as much as possible.
Masri: Abbas knew date of the attack

The Israeli air attacks ongoing since Saturday have so far killed 380 Palestinians and wounded 1750 others including 300 in serious conditions.
