Palestinian Factions Oppose Egyptian Role in Gaza | |
2004-06-22 | |
The main Palestinian militant factions have united to oppose any security role Egypt might take in Gaza if Israel quits the territory, casting doubt over Egyptian efforts to mediate a smooth pullout. A statement by the 10 factions late on Monday put them at odds with the Palestinian Authority, which is due to hold potentially decisive talks with a top envoy from Cairo on Wednesday to discuss a possible Egyptian presence. "We deplore and are astonished at talk of a security role by Arab parties in Gaza and the West Bank," the militant groups said after a meeting of exiled leaders in Syria. They said such a role would make it look "as if the Palestinian people were the problem, not the occupation."

#6 egyptians getting involved, Hamas, IJ and Arafat lash out at Egyptians, Nabil Shaath distances himself from Arafat. Yup,its all going according to plan/ Note, what most outrages Arafat is that the Egyptians will play a role in making sure the Pal security sources are streamlined, which makes it harder for Arafat to keep control over them, rather than the Pal PM. Note also that the terror groups are speaking from Syria and Syrian controlled Lebanon. So for the home team, its Arafat, Hamas, IJ, AAMB, and Syria (and behind them, Iran) For the visitors, its Egypt, Jordan, Dahlan, possibly Rajoub, and the more sane members of the PA cabinet and legislature. Qureia wont come out for the visitors till its clear theyre winning. Get your scorecards here! |

#2 They said such a role would make it look "as if the Palestinian people were the problem, not the occupation." Something that's been known for a long time can't be "exposed".... |

#1 "Hey, deez guys are gonna crowd in on our racket boys!" They said such a role would make it look "as if the Palestinian people were the problem, not the occupation." While reality inversion as a way of life is rather common in children, for grown adults it is merely pathetic. |
