Aksa Brigades calls for Fayad’s death
Ah, those peaceful Fatah terrorists are at it again:
Fatah’s armed wing, the Aksa Martyrs Brigades, on Sunday called for the murder of Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Salaam Fayad for “collaboration” with Israel and the US.
This was the first time the group has openly called for Fayad’s assassination. In the past, the group distributed leaflets strongly condemning Fayad and calling for his dismissal.
Fayad has been under heavy criticism from some Fatah leaders and activists, who accuse him of denying them public funds and plotting to undermine Fatah’s grip on power. Other Fatah leaders have also accused Fayad of seeking to consolidate his power with the hope of replacing Mahmoud Abbas as PA president.
The threat was made in a leaflet distributed by the Aksa Martyrs Brigades in the Gaza Strip. Some Fatah officials in Ramallah sought to distance themselves from the threat, claiming that the leaflet had been forged. They even went as far as accusing Hamas of being behind it.
Sure.
In the leaflet Al Aqsa said: “We call on all our members and the policemen in the West Bank not to obey orders from the Fayad government, because it’s serving an American agenda and helping Israel eliminate the Aksa Martyrs Brigades.”
Will he be able to resist the pressure from Al Aqsa? And, if so, will he survive?
Once again a clear sign that all too often, Israel can only negotiate about peace with itself, because many Palestinians don’t want peace, but something they call “Justice.” Justice for them, of course, being the destruction of Israel.
What the region needs is a courageous leader, who stands up to the terrorists and who’s determined to bring peace to his, and to Israel’s people.
