The attack marks the first such reported attack on a senior member of Fatah, the movement led by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, in more than 10 months of cross-border clashes between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement following the Gaza war.

The “assassination of a Fatah official is further proof that Israel wants to ignite a full-scale war in the region,” Tawfiq Tirawy, a member of Fatah’s central committee, told Agence France-Presse (AFP) in Ramallah.

    Let me get this right… Hamas is bad, so those cunts assassinate moderate party representatives that would be an alternative to Hamas?

      They killed one of the Hamas moderates who was directly involved in the negotiations. So far with them actually willing to negotiate in good faith. They are acting with such an impunity in the region that it is really staggering

        Oh that war criminal monster Netanyahu was never willing to negotiate in good faith. He really is doing a genocide to distract from his own criminal proceedings. Once, in my younger days, I thought democracy had overcome absolutism. Now, I just think the ways to power have changed

          Capitalist democracy has always been a sham, it’s kabuki theatre to appease the masses while carrying out the necessary actions for profit.
