Abu Zuhri warns of Hamas takeover in West BankThreat follows weekend of bitter factional violence in GazaBy ICEJ News The official, Sami Abu Zuhri, spoke as tensions between the two groups remained high following a bombing last week that killed five Hamas members in Gaza and an armed Hamas assault on a Fatah stronghold that ended with 11 dead and dozens wounded over the weekend. Abu Zuhri, told AP that Fatah should expect "an uprising" against them if they continued a crackdown against Hamas there. A Fatah official in the West Bank responded that Hamas was issuing empty threats. Abu Zuhri's interview with the AP reflected Hamas's increasingly tough stance toward Fatah, after it routed the Fatah-linked Hilles clan in Gaza City over the weekend. |
