RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- The Palestinian authority's intelligence apparatus summoned and threatened dozens of Hamas officials and members that they would be exiled from occupied Palestine.
Hamas sources said that PA intelligence officers told 50 Hamas officials and members that they would receive a form to fill out and they have to select the country they would be expelled to.
In another context, the Muslim youth association in the West Bank called for participating in the communal fasting this Monday in solidarity with the hunger strikers in PA jails.
This is part of a series of events to be held by the association in support of the political detainees in PA jails.
The association stressed the need, in a statement, for challenging the tyrannical authority of Fatah faction and breaking the barrier of fear through not complying with the summonses it issues and resisting it by all means available.
It also urged the West Bankers to be in touch with the families of the political detainees through sending phone messages to them, or visiting and praying for them.
In a new development, the PA militias kidnapped seven citizens affiliated with Hamas in the cities of Nablus, Qalqiliya and Al-Khalil and is still keeping in prison hundreds of political prisoners including women.

GAZA, (PIC)-- Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri called threats by the Palestinian Authority security militia to eject Hamas leaders from the West Bank outside the country a serious decline reflecting the agencies' security and moral downfall and ties with Israel.
Abu Zuhri told the Palestinian Information Center that he held Fatah responsible for exile operations targeting Palestinian leaders, saying the steps are carried out in full coordination between Fatah and Israeli agencies.
The Hamas spokesman said the crime is a breakthrough moral scandal that reflects the dangerous slope the Fatah party has reached, where its the agencies blindly follow Israeli [instructions], and take responsibility for any exile decisions Israel issues against Hamas's people.
The PA security militia summoned Saturday dozens of high-profile Hamas leaders and activists in Ramallah, as the officers who summoned them informed them that they were to fill out forms that would include an option to be exiled.

RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- Hamas MP and former minister Wasfi Qabah has described the Fatah authority's threats to deport more than 50 Hamas leaders and supporters as a "serious precedence".
He said in a press release on Sunday that the threat was very serious but could not be implemented, warning of a scheme being hatched against Islamic leaders and cadres in the West Bank.
For his part, Ehab Al-Ghussein, the spokesman of the interior ministry in Gaza, strongly condemned the threat in a statement published on the ministry's website on Sunday.
He said that the step would be in complete harmony with the Israeli occupation authority's policy, recalling the recent IOA deportation of MP Mohammed Abu Tir from Jerusalem.
Political analyst Mustafa Al-Sawaf described the threat as a "crazy idea", ruling out the militia in the West Bank could really effect it.
He told the PIC on Sunday that the step was a "scandal", adding that even if it was merely intended as a threat it points to the moral degradation of those people.
