(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - The U.S. is the number one enemy of the Palestinians because it supports Israeli "oppression," Tawfik Tirawi, a senior member of the Fatah Central Committee, said on Sunday. Tirawi, former commander of the PA General Intelligence Force in the West Bank, also said Fatah has not abandoned the armed struggle option against Israel.

Tirawi also criticized the PA leadership for refusing to allow Palestine TV to use the term "Israeli enemy" in its broadcasts.
