GAZA, (PIC)-- Dr. Salah Al-Bardawil, a Hamas leader, has described Abbas's militias detention of Sheikh Khaled Al-Haj, a prominent Hamas leader in Jenin, as a crime reflecting the extent of allegiance to the Israeli occupation.
Bardawil, in a press statement on Monday, said that the incident also displayed Fatah's inaptitude for reconciliation because it would deprive the faction of Israeli and American privileges.
He denounced the "kidnap crime", holding Fatah fully responsible for it and warning of reciprocation.
Those same militias refused to implement a court ruling ordering the release of Issam Al-Shalabi, the headmaster of a school in Jenin.
The wife of Shalabi, who was kidnapped 50 days ago, was not allowed to visit him.
In another related incident, Hamas MPs in Nablus lashed out at the Ramallah authority for condoning political detention and torture in its jails.
The deputies were commenting on the news report that two abducted brothers held in Ramallah jails had gone on an open ended hunger strike starting last Thursday after the court order for their release was not respected and they were forced to appear before a military court where they were sentenced to three years.

JENIN, (PIC)-- Militias loyal to former PA chief and Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas kidnapped Sheikh Khaled Al-Haj, a Hamas leader and its former spokesman in Jenin, on Sunday only two months after the Israeli occupation authority (IOA) released him from its jails.
Haj, 45, has been frequently questioned by those militias after his release form IOA jails after four years of imprisonment, but on Sunday they detained him after the interrogation.
Hamas, in a statement, denounced the incarceration of Haj, who spent on aggregate more than 10 years in IOA jails and one year in the PA jails in the West Bank.
It said that those militias rounded up many Hamas supporters over the past few days including Haj, and five others in Tulkarem, five from Al-Khalil, and tens in Salfit district.
Hamas said that Abbas's militias rounded up two young men in Nablus, and quoted relatives as saying that a number of detainees in the PA prison of Junaid in Nablus had gone on hunger strike for the past three days to protest maltreatment.
The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) arrested a Najah university student in Nablus only few days after those militias released him in a clear indication of security coordination between the two parties, Hamas underlined.
Abbas's militias had launched a rabid campaign in Al-Khalil after the commando attack that targeted an IOF patrol south of the city a few days ago.
