I've Been Thinking:

The Palestinian Authority's official news agency published comments by President Mahmoud Abbas that criticized Hamas over its actions - but later removed reference to the terrorist group without providing an explanation.

The comments, published by WAFA on its website, were made during a phone call between Abbas and Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. The two discussed Israel's bombardment of Gaza following Hamas' deadly rampage through Israeli cities. The original WAFA report on Abbas' call included the now-deleted line: "The president also stressed that Hamas' policies and actions do not represent the Palestinian people.

The policies, programs and decisions of the (Palestine Liberation Organization) represent the Palestinian people as their sole legitimate representative."
Several hours later, the phrase was adjusted to read: "The president also stressed that the policies, programs, and decisions of the PLO represent the Palestinian people as their sole legitimate representative, and not the policies of any other organization."
