NABLUS, (PIC)-- Former Palestinian minister Wasfi Qabha on Thursday strongly denounced the Israeli imprisonment of senior Fatah official Abbas Zaki and called on Fatah leadership to respond to what happened to one of its leaders.
In a press release, Qabha said that Hamas prisoners in Ofer prison gave Zaki a warm reception in a way that reflected the high morality of Hamas cadres and the unity of the Palestinian people regardless of their political affiliation.
The former minister added that the meeting that happened between Hamas prisoners and Zaki sent a strong message to the Israeli occupation that the estrangement between the Palestinian rivals is a passing summer cloud that soon will clear up.
He also hailed Zaki for his refusal to comply with the demands of the Israeli court or recognizing its legitimacy, and urged the central committee of Fatah and its revolutionary council to respond to the imprisonment of Zaki by releasing all Hamas detainees and citizens from West Bank jails.
Zaki had refused to sign a deal put forward to him by Israel, which includes a fine, compliance with a number of requests made by the Israeli intelligence apparatus, and restrictions on his travel and movement throughout the occupied Palestinian lands.
However, Palestinian local sources reported Thursday that Mahmoud Abbas’s militias kidnapped five citizens affiliated with Hamas, most of them were ex-detainees either in Israeli or West Bank jails, in the district of Nablus, Qalqiliya, Bethlehem and Jenin.
They also said that Abbas’s militias summoned for investigation a Palestinian engineer and ex-detainee in their jails called Wajeeh Abu Aida.
Abu Aida suffers from different chronic diseases and severe pains preventing him from sitting down properly as a result of his exposure to excruciating torture during his previous detention.
