GAZA, (PIC)-- The Fatah dominated PA authority in the West Bank has pledged to quell any form of armed resistance in the West Bank, urging the Israeli occupation authorities to give broader authority in the areas under its control.
According to the minutes of a meeting between PA and Israeli occupation officers, a copy of which was obtained by the PIC, PA officers pledged to suppress the resistance in the West Bank at all cost.
The document also revealed that the PA representatives appealed for the Israelis not to carryout any incursions in the areas falling under PA control in order not to "embarrass" them before the Palestinian public, and urged them to leave the mission of wiping out the Palestinian resistance in the West Bank to the PA security forces operating there.
During the meeting, the Israelis blamed the PA security forces for not doing enough against the Zakat committees in the West Bank, a matter the PA security forces pledged to handle, the document revealed.
The Israelis also asked the Fatah leaders to explain to them terms used by the Fatah authority like "popular resistance", "violence", and the "Israeli incursions", to which, the Fatah leaders replied that the term "Israeli incursions" is used for IOF troops entering into areas classified as "A", which is under the PA control.
Moreover, the Fatah leaders assured their Israeli counterparts that the PA security apparatuses in the West Bank were sincere in silencing any voice calling for or encouraging the resistance against the occupation, and that such policy was clear and firm instructions from the highest PA political echelon.
In return, the Israelis promised to remove a number of barriers in the streets of the West Bank, allow more trucks carrying stones into the West Bank, and allowing Palestinians of the 1948-occupied lands to enter the west Bank through any checkpoint.
The PA officials also requested the Israelis not to humiliate the Palestinian citizens while traveling abroad or passing Israeli checkpoints.
Hundreds of Palestinian resistance fighters were arrested by the forces of Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank and placed in jail without charges, the majority of them underwent torture, and many others had passed away under torture in Abbas's jails.
