Palestinian Rivals Fatah, Hamas Trading Barbs Again After Reconciliation Pact

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Palestinian power rivals are exchanging barbs again, less than a month after they pledged to bury their hatchets and form a unified government.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah Party is demanding an apology from Hamas after it prevented a high-level delegation from entering Gaza.

Hamas, in turn, said Sunday one of the Fatah officials “cursed God” and was disrespectful toward Hamas security officers.

The Palestinian factions have been at odds since Hamas ousted Abbas’ forces and seized control of the Gaza Strip in 2007.

Hamas was the elected government in office in 2007. How is it that a sitting government "seized control?"

Hamas: Fatah Official May Face Court For Blasphemy

GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- The row over a Fatah delegation that said it was denied entry to Gaza continued Saturday as Hamas said delegate Sakher Bseso may face prosecution for blasphemy.

Four Fatah officials tried to enter the Gaza Strip on Friday for reconciliation talks, but said they were refused entry by Hamas border guards. The group said they waited for 45 minutes at the Erez crossing before giving up and returning to the West Bank.

The Hamas-run Interior Ministry in Gaza swiftly responded that the delegation only waited for 10 minutes at the border, and refused to wait any longer for border guards to call their supervisors to arrange the group's entry.

The ministry said Fatah delegate Sakher Bseso "cursed God" and insulted the officers. On Saturday it announced that "certain officials" had started legal proceedings against Bseso for blasphemy.

"Bseso should be ready to stand in a court and be judged," the ministry said in a statement.

Bseso told Ma'an he did not curse God and reiterated that the delegation was visiting Gaza for talks to implement the reconciliation agreement between Hamas and Fatah.

Ismael al-Ashqar, a Hamas member of the reconciliation committee, told Ma'an on Saturday that the incident at the Erez crossing was a "technical mistake," adding that Fatah officials were welcome in Gaza.

Senior Hamas official Salah al-Bardawil also chimed in, issuing a statement accusing the Fatah officials of behaving "arrogantly" toward border guards and deliberately sabotaging the trip.

"Why wouldn't Fatah officials undertake the coordination along with their brothers of the legal leadership which was elected by the Palestinian people?" al-Bardawil asked.

The Misery of Arabs/Apple R&D In Israel

Apple will open a research and development center in Israel that will focus on semiconductors

The R&D center in Herzliya, Israel’s version of Silicon Valley, would be Apple’s first outside California

Earlier this week, Israeli media reported Apple was in advanced talks to buy Anobit, an Israeli maker of flash storage technology, for $400-$500 million

It is so sad and frustrating to see APPLE investing in Israel, while we as Arabs are not able to attract these investments to our countries! I don’t know what our leaders are doing to create proper environment for such investments!

I would prefer seeing APPLE as well as MICROSOFT having their R&D in Lebanon or any other Arab Country instead of being in ISRAEL!

WISH THE ARAB LEADERS WILL WAKE UP AND CARE FOR DEVELOPING THEIR COUNTRIES AND SOCIETIES INSTEAD OF APPLYING DICTATORSHIP AND KILL THEIR PEOPLE!
The Misery of Arabs ! Apple R&D in ISRAEL! | What do You Think ?
