Hamas Abu Marzouk: Third intifada in the offing.(IIT).

Political bureau member of Hamas Dr. Mousa Abu Marzuok has belittled the importance of US secretary of state John Kerry’s economic plan for the West Bank.

He said in a statement on his Facebook account on Monday that the four billion dollars plan would not succeed in saving the Palestinian Authority from political failure and would not abort a third intifada, which is in the offing.

Abu Marzouk noted an escalation in Israeli raids into West Bank refugee camps over the past few weeks that led to the martyrdom of a number of young men.

He also noted growing protests against negotiations and security coordination.


The Hamas leader said that recent targeting of Israeli soldiers served, along with the previous facts, as additional pointers to the approaching intifada.

First Deputy Chairman of the Palestinian Legislative Council, Dr. Ahmed Bahar, has called on PA to ‘unleash West Bank resistance for the liberation of prisoners and al-Aqsa mosque’ and to stop security coordination and absurd negotiations with the occupation authorities.

Bahar’s statement came during a sit-in on Monday outside the Red Cross headquarters in solidarity with the Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.


Our prisoners are defending the nation’s dignity and Palestine, he said, adding that the Palestinian people are able to liberate prisoners and al-Aqsa mosque.

For his part, the leader in Hamas movement Hussein Abu Quaik considered the killing of the two Israeli soldiers in al-Khalil and Qalqilya a failure of the Israeli security policy.

The continued Israeli terrorism against the Palestinian people and holy sites has led to the escalation of the Palestinian resistance in West Bank, he said.
