Spokesperson of An Nasser Brigades threatens to target PM Fayyad


"Gaza – Ma'an – The spokesperson of An Nasser Salah Addin Brigades, Abu Abeer, on Saturday threatened to target caretaker Prime Minister Salam Fayyad and presidential advisor, Nimir Hammad, whom he described as the "traitorous group in the Mukataa".

The spokesperson of the brigades, which is the military wing of the Popular Resistance Committees, said that these Palestinian figures could be treated like the Israeli occupation.

At a press conference in Gaza City, Abu Abeer pledged to set limits to what he called "US-led figures", due to their criticism of the Palestinian resistance and because they "side with the enemy".

Abu Abeer asserted that the An Nasser Brigades do not recognize the caretaker government of Fayyad, which eradicated armed resistance from its government programme.

Moreover, Abu Abeer affirmed that the brigades solely recognize the deposed government of former Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh.

At the same time, Abu Abeer rejected any alternative to the Rafah Crossing as the main crossing point for Palestinians into Gaza. He said that suggestions to use other Israeli-controlled crossings are "traps set to ambush Palestinian resistance fighters". He urged the Palestinians stranded at Rafah Crossing to defy the decisions of the "illegal government". "
