A member of the Palestinian security forces from Hamas has a board broken over his head during a display of skills during a graduation ceremony at a training area at the Rafah refugee camp, in the southern Gaza Strip, Sunday. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Sunday declined to meet with officials from the Islamic militant Hamas group, saying "the atmosphere is not fully ripe" and dealing a setback to the new Palestinian government's efforts to win international recognition.
