DOHA, (PIC)-- Farouk Al-Qaddoumi, the head of the political department of the Palestine liberation organization (PLO), on Tuesday launched a scathing attack on Mahmoud Abbas, the Fatah leader and former PA chief, and accused him of implementing a Zio-American agenda.

In a symposium held in Doha, Kaddoumi, who is also a veteran Fatah official, said that Abbas bought Fatah leaders with money to carry out a Zio-American agenda, adding that Fatah excluded itself from many principles and basics.

The Fatah official also accused Abbas’s authority of doing nothing towards Jerusalem, preventing citizens from resisting the occupation and locking them in its jails, recalling the repeated blatant statements made by Abbas and his entourage that they would not allow a third Intifada to take place against Israel.

He also criticized the role of Egypt towards the inter-Palestinian reconciliation and the peace process, saying that its role became confined to providing intelligence information and finding a disgraceful solution to the peace process.

In another related context, the Hamas Movement said that the information revealed by the Lebanese Diyar Newspaper about the presence of secret negotiations between Abbas’s authority and Israel reflect the political breakdown of this authority.

In a press statement to the Palestinian information center (PIC) on Tuesday, Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said that such a news report is not surprising to his Movement, and Abbas’s authority does not hide its thirst for the mirage of negotiations with Israel despite what is happening in Jerusalem.

Diyar Newspaper on Tuesday quoted Arab diplomats in Beirut as saying that there have been in-camera talks between Abbas’s authority and Israel for about two months in one of the European capitals under direct supervision of the US administration.

In a separate statement, spokesman Abu Zuhri condemned Abbas’s militias for preventing citizens from confronting the Israeli occupation, saying that such behavior is not a national action and reflects their involvement in protecting Israel’s security and giving it a chance to seize the Islamic holy sites and the Aqsa Mosque.

The spokesman added that the persistence of Fatah faction in running behind the mirage of the peace process and its security coordination with the Israeli occupation despite its crimes lays on it a big national responsibility for all these developments and implications.

For his part, Dr. Mahmoud Al-Ramahi, the secretary-general of the Palestinian legislative council (PLC), said that what is happening today against Jerusalem and the Aqsa Mosque is the fruit of the security coordination between Abbas’s authority and the Israeli occupation.

Dr. Ramhi added in a press statement that the Israeli actions against the holy city and Islamic holy sites and its settlement expansion are a response to the resolution adopted by Arab countries related to the resumption of peace talks with Israel.

He stressed that after this Israeli response, the Arab countries are demanded to renounce their peace initiative and stand by the option of resistance.

In a related development, Abbas’s authority threatened director of Jerusalem file in Fatah faction Hatem Abdelqader after he accused it and its security apparatuses of preventing West Bank people from expressing their solidarity with Jerusalem and the Aqsa Mosque.

Al-Jazeera satellite channel quoted a Palestinian source as saying that a senior official in Abbas’s authority warned Abdelqader that he would be prosecuted for this accusation.

Abdelqader had accused Abbas’s authority of quelling protests in support of Jerusalem in the West Bank and said that if the government in Ramallah allowed the citizens to express their anger, the situation on the ground would be different from what it is now.

For his part, Dr. Abdelsattar Qassem, a professor of political science at Al-Najah university, called in a statement to the PIC for the need for finding a comprehensive resistance strategy to deter the Israeli crimes.

Dr. Qassem said that the Palestinian resistance factions are demanded to develop this strategy and to work strongly and secretly.

As for the Israeli intentions to demolish the Aqsa Mosque, the professor opined that this might happen but gradually after the Israelis became confident that the Arabs and Muslims would not move to save the Mosque.

Abu Marzouk champions broad plan to preserve holy sites

[ 17/03/2010 - 06:24 PM ]

DAMASCUS, (PIC)-- Dr. Mousa Abu Marzouk, the deputy political bureau chairman of Hamas, has advocated a Pan-Arab plan to support steadfastness of Jerusalemites in their city, warning that statements would be of no value.

He told the PIC while participating in a march at the Yarmouk refugee camp in Damascus that the march was in solidarity with Jerusalem and carried a message to the upcoming Arab summit that events on the ground should not be met with mere words.

Resistance is the sole appropriate response to the Israeli practices to be coupled with national unity, he said.

For his part, Dr. Talal Naji, the assistant secretary general of the popular front for the liberation of Palestine – general command, told the PIC at the same march that the early starts of past intifadas were similar to what was going on in occupied Jerusalem.

He urged the Arab and Islamic masses to rise up in anger in defense of their sanctities, wondering when those masses would act … "When the Aqsa is destroyed"!

Naji hoped that the forthcoming Arab summit would mobilize all potentials and reach a joint Arab position vis-à-vis recent developments in occupied Jerusalem.

Dr. Ramadan Shallah, the secretary general of the Islamic Jihad Movement, told the rally held at the end of the march of anger that the Palestinian Authority should be dismantled because it was blocking the people from defending their land and holy places.

The bet on illusionary peace with "this criminal enemy" must come to an immediate end, he affirmed.

Shallah asked the Arab countries on behalf of the masses that took part in the march to revoke the so-called Arab peace initiative and support the resistance.

Thousands of Palestinians took part in the massive march to denounce the Israeli violations of holy shrines in occupied Jerusalem and to support steadfastness of Jerusalemites in face of those aggressions.
