Hamas speaks about possible uprising against Fatah in West Bank

From Albawaba.com:

A senior Hamas official warned Tuesday the movement that took over Gaza Strip over a year ago could also overrun the West Bank if it is provoked by Fatah. The Hamas official, Dr. Sami Abu Zuhri, told The Associated Press that Fatah leaders should expect “an uprising” against them if they continued a crackdown against Hamas there.

A West Bank Fatah official responded that Hamas was issuing empty threats:

“If they can do anything, let them do it. We are not afraid,” said Fahmi Zaarir, a spokesman for Fatah in the West Bank.

Looks like we are going to have an interesting summer!

  • I wouldn't be so sure about it. Hamas is very strong and a lot of Pals support them – you saw what happened in Gaza!

  • It is doubtful that they could do it in the West bank. In the west bank there are a lot more trained Fatah soldiers than what were in Gaza. They are trained / being trained to eventually combat the Hamas movement in Gaza.
