GAZA, Dec 19 (Reuters) - Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas accused the United States on Tuesday of spearheading efforts to bring down his democratically-elected government.

"There is an undeclared decision to bring down the government... and the Americans are leading this effort," Haniyeh said in a speech broadcast live on television.

Fighting between Hamas and President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah faction has intensified after Abbas called for fresh elections. Hamas, which took control of the Palestinian government in March after winning parliamentary polls, has vowed to boycott any new voting.

Rabbi Yisrael Hirsch, the leader of the radical movement Neturei Karta in Israel, looks at a sacred Jewish text during an interview in Jerusalem December 17, 2006. Jewish leaders from across the globe have decried the sight of six Jews with beards and black hats embracing Iran's president at a conference questioning the Holocaust, believing their gesture hurt the faith. Hirsch, a 51-year-old U.S. citizen by birth who rejected Israeli citizenship, said he was unable to go to Tehran because he lived in Israel. Iran does not grant entry to visitors with Israeli entry stamps in their passports. To match feature ISRAEL IRAN/JEWS. Picture taken December 17.
