Maj. Gen. Majed Faraj, the head of Palestinian intelligence,
reportedly emphasized the urgency of the situation, warning that Hamas could
potentially gain control over Jenin, similar to its domination of Gaza in 2007,
according to an Israeli media outlet.
Reprimand and concerns
High-ranking sources in Ramallah revealed that President
Abbas strongly reprimanded the security officials for their failure to maintain
control over the refugee camp and the city of Jenin.
Specifically, he pointed out their inability to protect two
Fatah leaders, Mahmoud Al-Aloul and Azzam Al-Ahmad, who were expelled from the
funeral of Palestinians killed during Israeli army operations in Jenin.
Reconstruction aid linked to security
To receive the pledged reconstruction aid funds of $15
million from the UAE and $30 million from Algeria, a significant change in
security within the Jenin area was deemed necessary.
The PA committed to implementing this change, particularly
in light of the town and its camp being destroyed. However, the internal
division within the Fatah movement in Jenin poses a challenge to the execution
of the new security policy.
President Abbas has ordered his security forces to enter the
city without encountering any resistance.
Fatah's response and concernsFatah regional committees have recently held meetings with
Palestinian Authority security officers, urging immediate action to dismantle
the infrastructure being established by Hamas in the West Bank.
Committee members allege that Hamas aims to take control of
the entire West Bank and incite the public to engage in clashes with security
officials.
