Fatah’s military wing condemns ‘Hamas conspiracy’ against the Palestinian Authority
Fatah’s military wing, the al-Aksa Martyrs’ Brigades, voiced its relentless support for the head of the Palestinian General Intelligence Service, Majid Faraj, in light of his recent comments on security coordination between the Palestinian Authority and Israel.
On Monday, the group organized rallies in the West Bank in support of Faraj and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, blaming Hamas for spreading lies about Faraj.
On January 18, Faraj said in an interview to Defense News that the Palestinian Authority has foiled some 200 attacks against Israelis since the eruption of the recent wave of violence in October. Faraj’s comments aroused furious reactions among Hamas, which called him a “traitor that collaborates with Israel.”
