Fatah security forces deployed in Jenin illegal -- Interior Ministry
2006-06-19
(KUNA) -- Security forces that Fatah announced it would deploy in the West Bank city of Jenin are illegal, said the Palestinian Ministry of Interior and National Security Saturday. Spokesman for the ministry Khalid Abu Hilal said in a statement to reporters that no faction had the right to deploy forces under the pretense of protecting the safety of Palestinians. He added that special forces were responsible for ensuring the safety of Palestinians.

Fatah's so-called "special protection forces" had been deployed in Jenin to enforce order. Asked about the merging of executive departments within Palestinian security bodies, the spokesman said, "Procedures are underway with the aim of training and rehabilitating the police forces."

#1Imagine if Hamas terrorists were refugeed by Fatah. They couldn't blame Israel for that.

How much money are you willing to bet?

#1  Fatah still gets most import taxes collected by Israel, and they still have as big as a ten to one advantage over Hamas, in arms.

I suspect that Fatah will wait until Hamas loses most public support, owing to economic chaos, and then make a move. Imagine if Hamas terrorists were refugeed by Fatah. They couldn't blame Israel for that.
