Hundreds of Fatah supporters fled to Israel from the Gaza Strip to escape Hamas crackdown that leave several people dead and wounded. The Israeli soldiers allowed the Gazans to move to Israel after Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and his Egyptian counterpart requested the Israeli government’s permission. Medical teams and ambulance were rushed to the border to welcome the fleeing Fatah supporters.
The crackdown of Fatah supporters particularly the Hilles clan was launched by Hamas in Gaza City. It was said that the raids were meant to catch the suspected Fatah supporter behind the explosion on 25 July that killed 5 Hamas members. The incident is said to be the bloodiest since Hamas took over the Gaza strip more than a year ago.
The Palestinian in fighting has become so bitter that Palestinians themselves fear Israel less than they do each other. Israel on the other hand believes that it’s their responsibility to support Abbas who is negotiating with the Israeli government. They would never tolerate the radical Hamas who they claim is a terror organization.
The Palestinian in fighting will never benefit the Palestinian people. They must unite and support Mahmoud Abbas if they want peace. Deaths would only divide their fragile nation. The Palestinians must throw politics away if they want to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
