Election posters showing Hamas' No. 1 candidate, Ismail Haniyeh hang outside a polling station during advanced voting in parliamentary elections in the West Bank city of Nablus, Sunday, Jan. 22, 2006. Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah Party will only form a coalition with parties willing to negotiate with Israel, the Palestinian information minister said Sunday, suggesting the Islamic militant Hamas would not be part of the next government. Recent polls indicate that Fatah and Hamas are running neck-and-neck ahead of Wednesday's parliament vote. (AP Photo/Nasser Ishtayeh)
