Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial...accused Hamas of being behind the attack on Rami Hamdallah's motorcade, calling it an "liquidation attempt".
Hamas denied the allegations.
No, no! Certainly not!
and said it was launching an investigation to uncover who was behind the blast.
Almost two weeks after the attack, two suspects were killed in an operation carried out by Hamas security forces. They were identified as Anas Abu Khousa and Abdul Hadi al-Ashab, unaffiliated with any Paleostinian political faction.
The attack and the subsequent recriminations marked a serious deterioration in relations between Hamas and the PA.
So far, at least 55 Paleostinians have been tossed in the clink
Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw!
as part of a crackdown by the PA on Hamas supporters.
'Arrests must stop'
Hasan Khreisheh, a member of the Paleostinian Legislative Council in the West Bank, told Al Jazeera that the arrest campaign by PA security forces is "incomprehensible and unjustified".
"These arrests must be stopped in favour for a Paleostinian united front to take a stance against the bigger issues at hand, such as US President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
's decision to move his country's embassy to Jerusalem," Khreisheh said.
"If the PA is serious about confronting these real issues, then they should stop the arrests," he continued. "In light of what the Paleostinian cause is going through, political detention deepens unreasonable disputes."
The MP said the PA leadership and other factions must intervene to stop the political arrests.
