Palestinian Authority security forces in the West Bank have taken measures to prevent killings of leaders of the Palestinian Authority and its political power base, Fatah party, by the Islamic group Hamas, according to the London-based daily al-Sharq al-Awsat. The paper quoted Hamas members in the West Bank as saying, "The oppression that the security services put on us will not last for long," The source added that the security forces of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas "have not learned their lesson from what happened in Gaza," and intimated that a similar putsch is planned in the West Bank.
A senior Hamas leader in Gaza said the crackdown by pro-Abbas forces against Hamas members in the West Bank "will backfire."
