Fatah to Intensify "Popular Struggle" Against Israel
(Ynet News) Ali Waked - Senior Fatah officials have called to intensify the "popular struggle" against Israel. "All options are on the table," senior PA official Jibril Rajoub said Tuesday. Fatah Central Committee member Mahmoud al-Alul said Fatah, which is headed by Mahmoud Abbas, plans to escalate its activity against Jewish settlements in the West Bank and the West Bank barrier, as well as against what he called Israel's attempt to "Judaize" Jerusalem, this in accordance with the decisions reached at Fatah's sixth annual congress last year. The threat is apparently linked to Sunday's arrest of Fatah Central Committee member Abbas Zaki during a demonstration near Bethlehem. Nabil Shaath, another Fatah Committee member, said Fatah has decided that it must be at the forefront of the Palestinian struggle. "You've seen Fatah's leaders in Bilin and Bethlehem; their presence will be felt everywhere."
