Bahar calls on Fatah to dissolve Fayyad governmentGAZA, (PIC)-- First deputy speaker of the Palestinian legislative council Dr. Ahmed Bahar has called on Fatah faction to adopt a courageous decision and dissolve the illegitimate government of Salam Fayyad in the West Bank.
Bahar in a press release on Tuesday said that Fayyad should stand trial for his serious crimes against the Palestinian people and their national cause.
The MP was commenting on a report by an American magazine describing Fayyad as America's man in Palestine and said that his government is the sixth most corrupt in the world.
Bahar said that Fayyad's corruption is evident in various political, security, legal, administrative, and moral fields.
He warned the Fatah-controlled authority in Ramallah that leaving Fayyad in his post would encourage him to further destroy "our national values and our social fabric".

DAMASCUS, (PIC)-- The Hamas Movement said it is seriously concerned about the violations committed by the Palestinian Authority (PA) against its cadres and supporters in the West Bank, saying this situation does not provide the appropriate conditions necessary for the national reconciliation with Fatah faction.
In a statement on Tuesday, Hamas stressed that the eradication campaigns against the Palestinian resistance fighters and the PA's security cooperation and meetings with the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) encouraged the Israeli settlers and troops to escalate their aggression against the Palestinian people, their property and holy places.
The Movement noted that the PA held kangaroo trials against dozens of its activist in the West Bank, the latest was this Monday, where its military court in Ramallah city sentenced prisoner Abdelfattah Shreim to 12 years in jail and his wife to one year on a charge of harboring resistance fighters in their home.
It added that the PA security militias kidnapped many of its resistance fighters and assassinated two of them during a raid on Shreim's house in 2009, not to mention the killing of dozens of its fighters in cooperation with the IOF command.
Hamas called on the Arab countries to pressure the PA to stop such violations and its security cooperation with the Israeli occupation state and refrain from giving it the green light for its peace talks with Israelis.

GAZA, (PIC)-- Hamas leader and MP Dr. Salah Bardawil said the trials held against Hamas supporters in Fatah authority courts in the West Bank are unlawful and reflect the extent of Fatah’s involvement in its cooperation with Israel.
“We do not recognize the authority in Ramallah as it is an unlawful authority and its court has no link to Palestinian legitimacy because it is a politicized court paid off by [Israel],” Bardawil said in a statement on Tuesday.
“Courts that receive a salary from the Zionist occupation should not declare themselves Palestinian courts,” the MP added.
Bardawil said the PA court decisions coincide with Israeli military Chief of Staff Gaby Ashkenazi’s visit to Bethlehem and the mosque-burning by settlers near Bethlehem city.
Bardawil called on Fatah to put an end to the recklessness of its Israeli agents, stressing that the moves conflict with the concept of recently discussed Palestinian reconciliation.
The Qassam Brigades, which is Hamas’s armed wing, said the Fatah trials against resistance fighters in the West Bank and heavy sentences against them and their supporters is “clear treason”, calling the steps the beginning of the end of Fatah.
The Qassam Brigades spokesman Abu Obeida said in a news briefing on Tuesday that his brigade has the right to respond to the court rulings.
“The prosecution of resistance fighters reveals Fatah more in front of our people and in front of the world,” Abu Obeida added.
“The unjust verdicts against Shreim, Al-Arouri, and Mosleh were not at all expected, but came as a surprise to the detainees’ families and to all rights and humanitarian organizations in the West Bank,” the committee of detainees’ families said in a report it issued on Tuesday.
The committee said that more than 85 detainees were recently given prison sentences by PA military courts ranging from a few months to several years.
The latest verdict was issued against Abdel Fattah Shreim of Qalqaliya, who was sentenced to 12 years in prison for harboring Qassam resistance fighters in Qalqaliya.
The military court in Ramallah sentenced Shreim’s wife to one year in prison after she already served several months in the militia jails throughout several arrests last year. She was let out on a heavy bail.
