DAMASCUS, (PIC)-- Dr. Moussa Abu Marzouk, the deputy head of the Hamas political bureau, said Tuesday that there is a plan implemented carefully in the West Bank aimed at securing the control of PA security forces over different West Bank areas and enabling them to complete what the IOF troops failed to do there.

In an exclusive statement to the PIC, Dr. Abu Marzouk underlined that the campaign which PA chief Mahmoud Abbas's security forces waged in Al-Khalil city two days ago is part of previous security plans carried out in other West Bank areas.

The Hamas leader pointed out that the PA security forces in their various deployment areas in the West Bank are not allowed to interfere when there are Israeli military moves to assassinate or arrest Palestinian citizens.

He castigated these Israeli-supported PA security forces for standing on the sidelines of the assaults committed by Israeli settlers against Palestinian citizens.

"Had these apparatuses been for the protection of Palestinian citizens, they would have repulsed the herds of settlers as they were attacking the Palestinian people and their property," the Hamas leader underscored.

Abu Marzouk warned that these PA campaigns would adversely affect the atmosphere of the forthcoming dialog in Cairo.

He concluded his statement to the PIC by saying that such means would not succeed in subduing Hamas or forcing it to change its principled positions towards the Palestinian rights and constants, pointing out that his Movement might make concessions on something it has, but it would never waive anything belonging to the Palestinian people and their future.
