Hamas deplores US support for Abbas's security against resistance


GAZA, (PIC)-- The Hamas Movement strongly denounced Saturday the statements made by the US consulate on the sidelines of a graduation ceremony for a new Palestinian security batch in Jericho which said that these forces are designed for supporting the PA and fighting "terrorism" (the usual term used by US to describe its opponents) in the region.

In a press release received by the PIC, Dr. Sami Abu Zuhri, a Hamas spokesman, said that these statements reflect the American involvement in the inter-Palestinian disputes and in supporting one Palestinian team with training and armament against another team.

Dr. Abu Zuhri underlined that the PA's persistence in mobilizing its security forces against the Palestinian resistance does not conform with PA chief Mahmoud Abbas's call for dialog and deepens the gap in the Palestinian arena because these forces will be working side by side with the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian people and their legitimate resistance.

In another context, a Palestinian mother called Sarah Malash from the Aida refugee camp adjacent to Bethlehem in the West Bank appealed to Abbas to release her son imprisoned in his security apparatuses' jail in Jericho for more than six months for political reasons, saying that she yearns to see her son before she dies because she will undergo cancer surgery soon.

The PLC office had addressed a letter in this regard to PA intelligence director Tawfiq Al-Tirawi calling for the release of political prisoner Mohamed Malash for humanitarian reasons and in response to his mother's appeal.
