NABLUS, (PIC)-- Palestinian legislator Mona Mansour of Hamas's parliamentary bloc in the PLC said that the West Bank was the victim of the PA-Israeli security coordination that badly harmed and humiliated the Palestinian people there.

Mansour's remarks were made during an interview with Andreas Indregard from the International Crisis Group (ICG), in Nablus city Monday where she revealed the forms of human rights violations that the PA security forces exercise against the Palestinian people in the West Bank on daily basis.

"Since Hamas won the legislative elections in 2006, many in Fatah faction weren’t satisfied with the results and started spreading security chaos in the area that later on developed to become an organized security disorder at the hands of the PA security forces after the political rift in the Palestinian arena", Mansour explained.

She also said that the continuation of political detention in the West Bank was and still is the biggest obstacle before Palestinian national reconciliation, and thus it must come to an immediate end.

Moreover, Mansour underscored that tens of Palestinian intellectuals were forced to migrate after the Ramallah authority dismissed them from their jobs for their political affiliation although they didn’t violate the law.

"Indeed, there is a group within Fatah faction that isn’t interested in restoring national unity and tries to abort any effort pouring in favor of national reconciliation… but I am sure that the current situation won't stay for long because we believe that the solution is to have genuine reconciliation among the Palestinians", she underlined.

Meanwhile, MP Salah Al-Bardawil in the Gaza Strip pointed out that Fatah cadres under Hamas's authority in the Strip enjoy complete freedom and they practice their daily life normally.

"It is not true that we have political detainees in the Gaza Strip, and in fact when Fatah official Nabil Sha'ath requested prime minister Ismail Haneyya to release Fatah's political detainees in Gaza jails, Haneyya asked him to name one of them, but Sha'ath failed to do so", explained Bardawil.

However, Bardawil underlined that hundreds of Hamas detainees in jails of the West Bank were politically detained for their affiliation with Hamas Movement, and thus, we urged Dr. Sha'ath to call on Mahmoud Abbas to order their release swiftly.

In this regard, Bardawil ruled out any possible breakthrough in the Palestinian reconciliation file without sealing off this chapter.


Destructive culture:

Meanwhile, Mustafa Al-Kanoo, the cultural advisor of prime minister Haneyya, accused the Ramallah authority of spreading the culture of "capitulation and normalization" with the Israeli occupation in the West Bank.

In press statements on Tuesday, Kanoo charged that a number of media outlets were pressured by the Ramallah authority to enhance the culture of subjugation and surrender to the occupation through the programs they broadcast.

He also charged that the Ramalalh authority tempted with money many Palestinian writers with poisonous pens to work for its agenda without realizing the bad effect of such behavior on the Palestinian social fabric and the future of the Palestinian issue.

But he hailed the media in the Gaza Strip, stressing that anyone watching the media outlets in Gaza realizes they were working for the future and the national constants of the Palestinian people and enhancing the culture of resistance against the occupation.

In a related matter, the interior ministry in the legitimate PA government in the Gaza Strip asserted Monday that it won't allow the return of security chaos in the Strip at any cost, vowing to identify and arrest those behind the latest explosions in the coastal Strip.

Two explosions were recorded in Gaza Strip recently, one of them was next to a vehicle of the International Committee of the Red Cross.

"We are investigating the incidents, and we have gathered much information that would enable us identify and arrest the perpetrators and bring them to justice", said Ehab Al-Ghusain, the spokesman of the ministry in a brief interview with the PIC.

In the West Bank, the PA security forces rounded up 15 supporters of Hamas Movement in a number of districts.
