The reactions to Tuesday
morning’s terror attack that left three Israelis dead by the two
largest Palestinian factions were of full endorsement and support for the
terrorist’s actions.
On its official Facebook
page, the Nablus chapter of Fatah, the main party constituting the Palestinian
Authority (PA), called Nimr Mahmoud Ahmed Al-Jamal, the terrorist who killed the three Israelis and wounded a fourth,
a “martyr.”
This designation according to PA regulations means that
Al-Jamal’s family will qualify for a 6,000 shekel ($1700) grant and monthly
stipends up to 2,600 shekel ($737), according to Palestinian
Media Watch.
Fatah is considered by
the West to be the moderate and responsible Palestinian faction with which
Israel is supposed to make peace.
A spokesman for Hamas,
the Gaza-based terrorist group and other major Palestinian faction, also
praised the attack.
The reconciliation with
Hamas, which is still committed to terrorism against Israel, would put the PA
at odds with the Quartet’s Roadmap for Peace which outlines the necessary
conditions for peace with Israel. The Quartet principles
were endorsed by the United Nations Security Council, and require
the Palestinian leadership to issue an “unequivocal statement reiterating
Israel’s right to exist in peace and security and calling for an immediate end
to all acts of violence against Israelis anywhere.”
The support for the
terror attack by both Fatah and Hamas shows that both reject the Quartet
principles.
