PA daily says Hamas lied in accusing PA of helping Israel hunt for fugitive prisoners
Excerpt of an editorial by the official PA daily
Headline: “The language of the homeland”
“Some of the rumors, and even most of them, were created in the circles of the hostile intelligence forces. These [media] outlets rely on Israeli papers, and especially on the extremist racist right-wing papers, as reliable sources, and they cite news items from them… This is what [Hamas’] Al-Aqsa TV did when it cited… a news item whose source was the Israeli Security Agency (!) [parentheses in source], which claims that two high-ranking officials in the PA proposed aid and an exchange of information with the Israeli Security Agency regarding the six prisoners who succeeded in escaping from the occupation’s Gilboa Prison (refers to 6 terrorist prisoners including Zakariya Zubeidi who escaped from prison -Ed.)! This is not just a sin against professionalism and objectivity, but also a sin against the national values and national ethics, which call solely for unity, cooperation, friendship, and constantly searching for that which is in common in order to fight the occupation.”
