New Palestinian govt is 'lackey', says Iran


Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad yesterday dismissed as a "lackey government" Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas's emergency cabinet headed by Salam Fayyad, the official IRNA news agency said.

"For the past 60 years those who claim self-determination and democracy have used all the power to kill and displace people and install their lackey government in Palestine," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying.

"They have removed the popular government of this people and they have installed their lackey government and they want to take decisions for the people, but with these actions they only trample on human dignities," he added.
