Ministry of Interior and National Security feels sorry for lies and slanders that said by some of Fatah leaders and the continuing denial and attack of truth, spreading unsuitable rumors against the Palestinian security services in the Gaza Strip.
We at the Ministry of Interior surprise what was published by the mass media, citing from a statement issued by Fatah movement and the statements of Mrs. Amal Hamad, a member of the Central Committee of Fatah in Gaza, which are invalid and untrue.
Accordingly, the Ministry of Interior and National Security confirms on the following:
1. The leadership of Fatah movement and their members are moving and roaming without any limitation or prevent in the Gaza Strip, and they regulatory hold their meetings, which was confirmed by the Fatah movement itself through statements about a series of internal arrangements for the movement in the Gaza Strip.
2. The freedom of travel to and from the Gaza Strip to the leaders and cadres of the Fatah movement are fully available, as they travel through the crossings, whether the Rafah crossing of Beit Hanoun crossing.
3. The position of the Fatah movement comes from their refusal to cooperate with law and order and deal with the concerned Palestinian security services in the crossings of the Gaza Strip.
4. The leaders of Fatah are still dealing that they are higher than the government and the law.
5. Such statements are not based on facts have negative impact on the efforts of Palestinian reconciliation, whereas, these statements indicate that Fatah want to spoil the atmosphere and withdrawal of the reconciliation agreement.
6. We call on Mr. Mahmoud Abbas and Fatah leadership in the Gaza Strip to determine their position of the statement which issued by the official spokesman of the movement and published by the mass media.
7. We emphasize that everyone under the law, whatever his position or authority, and we will not allow anyone to it.
