Masked Palestinian militants of the national resistance committee, a militia linked to the ruling Fatah movement, display their weapons during a rally demanding jobs from the Palestinian Authority, outside the Palestinian Legislative Council building in Gaza City, Sunday, Aug. 21, 2005. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas signed a decree Saturday appropriating Jewish settlement land for public use once Israel's evacuation of Gaza is complete, and he scheduled postponed Palestinian legislative elections for Jan. 25. Both measures are meant to ease suspicions among Abbas' political rivals over the intentions of the Palestinian Authority and encourage them to hold their fire during the pullout.(AP Photo/Muhammed Muheisen
