RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- A French site which specialises in security affairs said that there are discussions taking place between different European security parties to start a new European security plan which aims to strengthen the Fatah authority security in Ramallah and support it to strengthen its security grip on the West Bank and to restore its authority in the Gaza Strip to strike at the Hamas security and military capability.

The plan which was discussed by the representatives at the EU Political and Security Committee is based on restructuring the European security missions to the Palestinian occupied territories to enhance the capabilities of Abbas’s security forces to be able to deal with Hamas.

The center for journalistic studies and analysis quoted the French site as saying that the plan includes the merging of the European police mission with European border officials who are residing in Askalan, without diminishing the responsibilities of either mission.

It added that the restructuring of the missions will help restructure Abbas’s security forces which are fighting Hamas in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip to facilitate the move to the new “Palestinian state”.

The new planned security mission will take the responsibilities for training PA police and control security at the Rafah border crossing and any new Gaza border-crossings.
