In a sign of increasing tensions between political leaders of Hamas
and Fateh, 2,500 Al Aqsa fighters were reorganized into a new Fateh
security force in the West Bank city of Jenin on saturday. The new
force took to the streets wearing black shirts carrying a picture of
Yasser Arafat and chanting slogans from the first intifada. In the
city of Jenin the fighters were showered with candy by two local
residents, before Atta Abu Rumeileh gave a speech in which he warned
of attempts by Hamas to undermine Fateh. This activation of a
security force in Jenin comes just 18 days after Hamas created it's
security force in Gaza. No security force has ever been created
parallel to the Palestine National Security force in the West Bank
however, and it's role here is a matter of some confusion. Atta Abu
Rumeileh, the head of the new Security force in Jenin, explains:
This force will not be a substitute for the police, or any other
system of the legal Palestinian National Authority.
The security systems alone do their tasks, and yesterday as we
positioned this force we didn't perform any formal tasks on the
street at all. We didn't stop cars or arrest any people. We are a
force intended to assist the authority legal system whenever we are
called for duty by the general commander of the Palestinian forces in
Jenin or the police commander General. We will be soldiers who follow
the orders of the police commander. We started talks with President
Mahmoud Abbas to enlist this force within the Palestinian police system.
Since the creation of the force on saturday, the west bank has
already seen a parallel Fateh force created in Tulkarem. I asked
Atta Abu Rumeileh if he thought this trend might lead to violence in
the West Bank of the kind already experienced in Gaza.
We will not allow anyone to extend the crisis in Gaza Strip to the
West Bank. We will prevent any organization, Hamas, Fateh which we
are members of, or any other organization from causing trouble or
crisis on the Palestinian street, the street cannot bear any more
trouble. This force is not an alternative to the authority. This
authority is the peoples' authority and we do respect it, and respect
its legitimate institutions, and we are in communication with local
leaders of Fateh in the West Bank to enable dispatching this force
wherever there are attempts to make troubles or create illegal forces
in the West Bank. Whenever they want to talk, they have to talk in
one language and not claim that the force in Gaza is legal, and this
force in Jenin is illegal. We are a force that does not claim to be
legal, but will be legal as we become part of the Palestinian
police. We are a force to assist the law, order, and the national
project of independence, and national unity.
While both Hamas and Israel have expressed alarm at the creation of
these forces, neither has released any public statements indicating
that there will be any retaliation. Still, what role these forces
will come to play both in palestinian politics and day to day life is
a matter of some concern. Grisan Andoni, Director of Bir Zeit
University public relations office and 2006 Nobel Peace Prize nominee
shares his opinion on the new force, and contextualized these
developments within the larger history of palestinian political
oppositions.
