Hamas blames Ramallah authority for Jewish settlers' attacks
[ 08/04/2009 - 09:40 AM ]
GAZA, (PIC)-- The Hamas Movement on Wednesday blamed the Ramallah authority for the growing phenomenon of Israeli settlers' assaults on Palestinian citizens in the West Bank.
Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum told the PIC that the settlers' violence would not have happened if the Ramallah authority did not restrain resistance, confiscated its weapons and continued security coordination with Israel.
He described as "serious escalation" the latest wave of attacks by Israeli settlers, charging that it was pre-planned in cooperation with the Israeli occupation authority.
Barhoum said that the Israeli plot targets terrorizing Palestinian civilians into deserting their villages and lands to allow further expansion of Israeli settlements.
The immediate response to such aggression should be lifting all restrictions on the resistance factions to defend the women and children in the West Bank, which the Ramallah authority failed to protect, the spokesman elaborated.
The Ramallah authority should adopt practical steps against the incessant settlers' attacks on the Palestinian people, shrines and lands, Barhoum concluded.
Eight Palestinian citizens in Khirbat Safa and Beit Ummar in Al-Khalil district were wounded today one of them critically in the Jewish settlers' attack that was protected by Israeli occupation forces.
An eyewitness told the PIC that the Jewish settlers were firing at civilians, and that a big number of them were injured.
She added that the PA security elements were idly watching while those settlers were rampaging in both villages.
Citizens rushed to protect their lives and property throwing stones at the settlers but the IOF troops responded by firing teargas and machineguns, the witness said.

Haneyya gov't calls for allowing resistance to defend people in WB
[ 08/04/2009 - 04:12 PM ]
GAZA, (PIC)-- The Palestinian government of Ismail Haeyya has called on the Ramallah authority to allow resistance in the West Bank to defend the Palestinian people against the growing attacks by Jewish fanatic settlers.
Taher Al-Nunu, the government's spokesman, said in a statement on Wednesday that his government was following up the events in Al-Khalil and the Jewish settlers' rampage in Khirbat Safa and Beit Ummar villages.
The aggression, which wounded 12 Palestinian citizens, was the latest escalation in the systematic Israeli attacks on the citizens of the West Bank and Jerusalem, he charged.
Nunu asked the Ramallah authority to halt the prosecution of resistance elements and allow them to defend their people. He also advocated an end to all forms of security coordination with the Israeli occupation authority.
The spokesman said that the PA police and security forces should stand up to those aggressions.
He finally asked the world community to protect the Palestinian citizens, recalling that the international law considers establishing settlements in occupied lands as a "war crime".
