[ 08/06/2009 - 05:03 PM ]
OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- The Israeli Maariv newspaper revealed Monday that US officer Keith Dayton intends to increase the number of Abbas’s security forces in order to be more able under the guise of enforcing law and order to eliminate the Palestinian resistance spearheaded by Hamas in the West Bank.
Dayton, who is in charge of overseeing and financing the security apparatuses under the command of ex-PA chief Mahmoud Abbas, will increase the PA security units from three to 10 brigades, Maariv said.
It added that senior Israeli officers received favorably Dayton’s plan to enlarge Abbas’s forces.
The Israeli occupation had recently approved Abbas’s request for permission to train another brigade in Jordan, which is supposed to start its mission soon after it comes from Jordan.
The newspaper noted that Dayton faced recently a problem in the budget of training and supporting Abbas’s forces and consequently had to travel to Washington to find financial support for his project.
In the context of arrest campaigns waged in the West Bank, the PA security apparatuses kidnapped on Sunday 15 Palestinians affiliated with Hamas, stormed four mosques and also arrested three Islamic Jihad members in the cities of Al-Khalil, Tobas, Nablus, Jenin and Tulkarem.
In another related context, the Hamas Movement in the West Bank on Monday unveiled a scheme prepared by Abbas’s security apparatuses to fabricate false testimonies against the Qassam martyrs who were killed a few days ago in Qalqilia.
In a statement received by the PIC, Hamas affirmed that Abbas’s security apparatuses pressured and blackmailed a number of its cadres in Qalqilia in order to give false testimonies and erroneous information criminalizing and defaming the Palestinian resistance fighters in exchange for their release and the safety of their homes and families.
Hamas, in light of this confirmed information, warned against any attempts to spread rumors and lies intended to tarnish the Palestinian resistance fighters and martyrs’ images in the West Bank.
The Hamas lawmakers imprisoned in Israeli jails expressed regret at hearing the news of killing five Palestinian resistance fighters affiliated with the Qassam Brigades at the hands of Abbas’s security apparatuses in Qalqilia last week.
The lawmakers called on all Palestinian factions and forces to assume their national responsibilities at this delicate and crucial stage in the Palestinian arena, highlighting that the Palestinian struggle entails the protection of the resistance and its weapons against the Israeli occupation.

Ramahi: The PA practices in W.B are a practical application of the roadmap plan
[ 08/06/2009 - 05:11 PM ]
RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- Dr. Mahmoud Al-Ramahi, the secretary-general of the PLC, said that the Qalqiliya events and the political arrest campaigns were a practical application of the roadmap plan which stipulates the elimination of the Palestinian resistance, stressing that such steps would not be in favor of Abbas’s authority.
In a press statement published by on Monday by the Palestine newspaper, Dr. Ramhi stated that those who are in charge of these security campaigns must think of what they do because they only harm the Palestinian people and their resistance, warning that the PA practices against the resistance in the West Bank would lead to a popular explosion against it.
He underlined that if the PA policymakers had been wise, they would have taken a lesson from the past, saying that the Palestinian rights still move backwards after 16 years of the PA commitment to Oslo accord and the other agreements.
Commenting on remarks made by a PA security official in the West Bank in which he said that the next strike against the resistance would be in Al-Khalil city, the Palestinian lawmaker said that the attacks waged against the resistance could be anywhere because the resistance fighters are hunted in different West Bank areas, adding that the PA now believes that it could achieve some gains, but in the long run, it would get nothing.
The lawmaker highlighted that the PA would certainly fail to eliminate the Palestinian resistance and its campaigns would increase its strength because the Israeli occupation, despite its possession of military and security technology, was not able to eradicate the resistance.
The lawmaker pointed out that the PLC follows up closely what is happening in the West Bank and keeps in touch with human rights organizations and the Arab and European embassies and consulates in order to stop the human rights violations committed by the PA against the resistance fighters and all support provided for the PA because of its torture and political arrest practices.
In the same context, Ali Baraka, the deputy representative of Hamas in Syria, said on Monday, in a press statement to the PIC, that the arrest campaigns and assassinations carried out by the PA security apparatuses in the West Bank are aimed to eradicate the Palestinian resistance and force it to make political concessions in the national reconciliation talks.
Baraka stressed that any Palestinian reconciliation must be reached as a result of dialog and not because of pressures and coercion, adding that any attempts to force Hamas to recognize the national quartet’s terms and renounce the resistance would be doomed to failure.
For his part, Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said in a press statement Monday that the PA violations against the Palestinian resistance fighters in the West Bank and its use of torture and pressure means to force Hamas cadres imprisoned in its jails to fabricate confessions against their comrades with the aim of misleading the public opinion are deliberate attempts to torpedo the Egyptian reconciliation efforts.
Spokesman Barhoum called on the Egyptian sponsor to pressure Fatah leaders to stop all this intentional escalation against Hamas and its armed wing in the West Bank so as to create the atmosphere for the resumption of the national dialog.
In a statement received today by the PIC, the association of Palestinian scholars strongly denounced the PA in Ramallah for forcing mosque preachers to give unwillingly inflammatory speeches against the Palestinian resistance and distort what happened really on the ground in Qalqiliya.
The statement emphasized that this policy of muzzling the mouths of scholars and mosque preachers indicate the level of moral decline reached by the PA in Ramallah
