The PA-Israeli coalition against the Palestinians will come to an end, Neither Fatah nor Israel can take Gaza from Hamas

GAZA, (PIC)-- Member of Hamas's political bureau Dr. Mahmoud Al-Zahhar said that the coalition between the Fatah-controlled Palestinian Authority (PA) and the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian people will be doomed to demise sooner or later.

"The devilish coalition which is taking place in the West Bank against our men, women, children, mosques, institutions, and universities will go away, this is how the history used to be and how it is going to be in the future," Zahhar stressed during a massive march held in Khan Younis in solidarity with the detainees in the West Bank.

"No future for the occupation entity which you are protecting yourselves with. The future will be for us and for our religion," the Hamas official said addressing Fatah leaders.

He also noted that the arrest and torture of Palestinian women brought disgrace on Fatah and its authority. "Our free women are our honor and dignity."

The official described the prison as the mosque of resistance fighters and highlighted that resisting the injustice, the occupation and its lackeys is an obligation imposed on all honorable Palestinians.

"Our hands are open and our hearts are sincere towards genuine unity; we do not extend our hands to those whose hands are stained with the blood of our people," the official added.

For his part, Hamas spokesman Yousuf Farahat strongly denounced the persistence of Fatah security militias in kidnapping and torturing Hamas cadres and supporters in the West Bank.

"We cannot seek a poisoned reconciliation with Fatah in such a police atmosphere which is taking place in the West Bank," spokesman Farahat said in a ceremony held Friday in Nusseirat and Bureij refugee camps.

He added that Fatah should release all political detainees and hunger strikers from its jails as a precondition before signing a reconciliation agreement with it, describing its militias in the West Bank as a handful of people who sold their religion and homeland.

GAZA, (PIC)-- Senior Hamas official Dr. Salah al-Bardawil downplayed statements by Fatah leader Azzam al-Ahmed threatening that his party would not leave Gaza hijacked by Hamas.

“Azzam al-Ahmed contradicts himself sometimes saying the political arrests are a result of division and at times saying Fatah has no link to the arrests,” Bardawil told the Quds Press Friday.

“Hamas has not hijacked Gaza. Fatah hijacked the West Bank and overturned the elections Hamas won by majority, and rebelled against the legitimate government.”

Bardawil stressed his movement was not afraid of Fatah's threats. “There is no possibility for Fatah to take control of Gaza except if they used Israel. But neither Azzam al-Ahmed nor Israel can defeat Hamas, which stood in the face of Israel's first military strike.”

The government in Gaza said Ahmed's statements confirmed that Fatah is continuing to meddle in Gaza's internal arena.

“This calls for our security agencies to prosecute these rebels and bring them to justice,” the Gaza interior ministry said Friday. The ministry added that it will hold Fatah responsible for any acts of rebellion that sprout in Gaza.

Ahmed told the London newspaper Al Sharq Al-Awsat on Friday that Fatah had an alternative strategy in dealing with the Palestinian division. Declining to provide details, he said: “We will not leave Gaza hijacked by the armed Hamas militia, which has rebelled against the law.”

A cable surfaced on the Wikileaks website earlier this week reporting that Fatah asked Israeli security chief Yuval Diskin to strike on Hamas in 2007.

Hamas has recently pulled out of a slated meeting that attempted to achieve national reconciliation with the Fatah faction due to the latter's streak of arrests and torture of Hamas supporters in the West Bank.
