Hamas says to amnesty collaborators if...
The Islamic resistance movement Hamas announced Sunday that it will issue an amnesty to all Palestinian collaborators with the Zionists if they hand themselves up and reveal information. "If you reveal information to us, we pledge not to harm you or reveal your identities and protect yours lives and will never inform your families about your past collaborations." Hamas said ina communique issued on Sunday. The communique called on all Palestinians who collaborate with the Zionist entity to take advantage of this opportunity. "We call on you to think about your families and children as well as thinking about the penalties you will have to endure if you continue to collaborate with the Zionists, that's why we urge you to cease this chance," the communique said.
Meanwhile, Hamas representatives said that they convened recently with a number of Palestinian National Authority (PNA) officials and agreed that the PNA security apparatuses will alone deal with the collaborators and their penalties. The issue of Palestinian collaborators arose in the wake of the assassination of Hamas leaders Ahmed Yassin and Abdel-Aziz Rantisi by the Zionist terrorists on March 22 and April 17 respectively. The Hamas movement had immediately said that the Palestinians who collaborate with the Zionist intelligence services play key roles in providing information about Palestinian representatives and contribute to their assassinations. About 83 Palestinians accused of collaboration with the Zionist enemy have been killed in the Palestinian territories (1968) since the outbreak of the Intifada in September 2000.
