Fatah official testifies Hamas called to “capture the wives” of Fatah members during 2007 coup
The video shows an interview with Fatah Revolutionary Council member and regular columnist for the official PA daily Muwaffaq Matar on Al-Arabiya TV.
Fatah Revolutionary Council member Muwaffaq Matar: “We think that the masses of our people in the Gaza Strip have paid a very, very heavy price as a result of Hamas’ policy and its subordination to external agendas, and particularly that of Persian [Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah] Khamenei and the Iranian-Persian project to restore [their] hegemony over the Arab region… Hamas has never had a source of national authority, rather it is actually the one that established the roots of ISIS-ism in the Arab region. I was in the Gaza Strip 17 years ago when the bloody coup took place… They shouted out over the mosque loudspeakers: ‘Kill them! Kill them and capture their wives!’ This is ISIS-ism.”
