 I dunno the finer points of Paleo politix, but does this mean the Martyrs' Brigades rats are deserting the sinking Mahmoud Abbas ship of state? Have they officially switched sides in hopes of joining the Hamas gravy train? | Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, Fatah's military wing, said Sunday it respected outcome of recent Palestinian elections which brought Islamic resistant movement, Hamas, victorious. A statement by the brigades called on Hamas to implement its program and protect the resistance. It called on all those in Fatah, which gained 43 seats in the parliament, to reunite and assess the reasons behind their defeat. The Brigades underlined they would be committed to resistance and keen on bringing about the release of the Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails. The military wing called on members of Fatah's central committee to resign immediately and form an emergency committee to run the movement. Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades reiterated rejection to join any government formed by Hamas, which won 78 seats. |
