Govt without Hamas
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas says he'll swear in a new government without his Hamas rivals within 48 hours. But he says he isn't closing the door on power-sharing talks with the Islamic militant group, which controls the Gaza Strip. Abbas says the West Bank's current prime minister, Salam Fayyad, will keep his job.
