Hamas arrests Fatah men returned to Gaza by Israel
Haaretz reports:
A Hamas official on Sunday said a group of Fatah men returned by Israel to the Gaza Strip were immediately detained by the Palestinian militant group’s security forces.
Further it is reported that Abbas gave the order to send them back:
Israel sent the group back on Sunday after Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Salam Fayyad withdrew an earlier request for Defense Minister Ehud Barak to allow the Gazans entry to Israel and then to transfer them to the West Bank.
Can anyone out there explain to me why the PA refused to allow these guys into the West Bank? They must realize that Hamas is going to eliminate them.
