Hamas: Ministry soundtracks provide evidence that PA spied on resistance

A series of recordings released by the Interior Ministry in Gaza proved that the Palestinian Authority (PA) apparatuses in the West Bank collaborated with the Israeli occupation against Palestinian resistance factions, Hamas has said.

The group’s spokesman, Sami Abu Zuhri, said in a statement on Saturday night the recordings reflect the depth and gravity of the PA-Israeli security coordination.

The Ministry of Interior and National Security in Gaza released recordings Saturday, purporting to show that the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah spied on Palestinian resistance and was involved in recent blasts in the Strip.

Telephone calls were also released between security officials in Ramallah and their employees in the Gaza Strip in addition to their agents in Egypt and Jordan, recruited to stake out the Palestinian resistance and pass the pieces of information on to the Israeli occupation.

For his part, senior Hamas leader, Mousa Abu Marzouk called on the PA to cease its antagonistic deeds against Gaza and rather work on fostering the reconstruction process.

“The implementation of the reconciliation accord and national responsibilities require another, totally different, behavior on the part of the PA,” Abu Marzouk said in statements posted on his Facebook page, wondering about the reasons why the PA has been spying on the Palestinian resistance and lashing out at Hamas.
