Three armed groups affiliated to Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbasâ ruling Fatah party yesterday flouted calls to disarm after Israel completes its pullout from the occupied Gaza Strip. âWe cannot allow anyone to destroy our happiness in our victory. We reject having any Israeli remain at the Rafah border crossing and we cannot allow Gaza to be under siege,â said a joint statement sent to AFP.âResistance is legal and there is no question that if the occupation continues we cannot let our weapons go at any price,â added the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, Abu Rish Brigades and the Fatah Falcons. They vowed that the resistance would continue until Israel released all Palestinian prisoners, allowed all refugees and Palestinian exiles to return and Jerusalem was âforeverâ the capital of a Palestinian state. The groups also urged Arab and Muslim states not to open relations with Israel after Pakistani Foreign Minister Khurshid Kasuri met his Israeli counterpart Silvan Shalom last week. The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades has already made clear that it would not disarm after Israel leaves the Gaza Strip following a warning last week from the interior ministry that armed groups would not be tolerated.
