CAIRO, (PIC)-- Nimir Hammad, an advisor to Mahmoud Abbas, said Monday that the Palestinian Authority (PA) would not allow the outbreak of a third Intifada (uprising).Abbas’s aide also noted that the PA does two jobs in the West Bank which are to manage the economy and to maintain security.
He also warned that anyone possessing weapons or explosives intended to be used against Israel will be arrested.
In a new development, Abbas’s militias kidnapped on Tuesday 27 Palestinian citizens, including a woman, thought to be affiliated with Hamas in the districts of Ramallah, Tulkarem, Jenin, Qalqiliya and Nablus.
Most of the citizens were kidnapped in Ramallah city, where Abbas’s militias raided and ransacked more than 20 homes and confiscated documents, private money, jewelry, computers and cell phones during the campaign.
The militias also stormed a historical mosque in the Ramallah village of Kharbta Bani Harith and wreaked havoc and destruction inside it.
In another incident, sources close to the family of prisoner Abdelrahman Ashtiya, a student at Al-Najah university, said that the detainee was transferred to hospital as a result of his exposure to severe torture in Abbas’s jails. The prisoner was an ex-detainee in Israeli jails and is still denied family visits.
For their part, Palestinian lawmakers in Israeli jails strongly denounced Abbas’s militias for storming a mosque and a number of homes in the village of Kharbta Bani Harith in a late hour last night.
In a leaked letter, the lawmakers expressed their dismay and regret that the role of Abbas’s security apparatuses is complementary to the Israeli violations committed against the Islamic holy sites, adding that this violation of the inviolability of mosques and homes transgressed all moral and national values.
