RAMALLAH, West Bank - Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas has invited the Hamas militant group to join his Cabinet to help oversee the smooth handover of the Gaza Strip after Israel withdraws, a Hamas official said Friday. Hamas is considering the offer, a senior Hamas official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because no decision has been made. The Islamic group's leadership in Gaza and abroad will have final say on whether to join Abbas' government, the official said.
