Gaza-based terror group looks to enlist support of other organizations as internecine battle between Palestinian factions continues in Jenin, while the US urges Israel to allow upgrading of Palestinian Authority’s paramilitary force
The Gaza-based terror organization Hamas is attempting to escalate an ongoing internecine conflict within the Fatah-ruled Palestinian Authority, calling on additional terror groups to join a battle for control of the city of Jenin in Samaria.
In a statement issued Tuesday morning, Hamas urged “all movements, factions, tribal gatherings, and human rights organizations to mobilize massively” and unite behind a terrorist alliance in Jenin currently battling the Ramallah-based Palestinian Authority.
Hamas framed the ongoing conflict between Jenin terrorists and the Palestinian Authority as part of the broader conflict against Israel, accusing the PA of serving Israeli interests.
