Report: Palestinian Authority on Alert for Hamas Takeover of West Bank.....
In my opinion, it's only a matter of time before Hamas rules the West Bank......
Ramallah - Palestinian security forces in the West Bank have taken measures to prevent killings of leaders of the Palestinian Authority (PA) and the mainstream Palestinian party Fatah by the Islamic group Hamas, a pan-Arab newspaper reported on Saturday.
The London-based daily al-Sharq al-Awsat quoted Hamas members in West Bank as saying that the Islamists plan to take over the PA-ruled West Bank in the same way they took control of the Gaza Strip last year.
'The oppression that the security services put on us will not last for long,' a Hamas supporter was quoted as saying, referring to the Fatah crackdowns on Hamas members in the West Bank.
The source added that security forces loyal to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas 'have not learned their lesson from what happened in Gaza.'
