An Islamic Hamas movement leader insisted on Tuesday that his movement wants to form new security apparatuses for the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) that don't go for security collaboration with Israel.
Mushir al-Masri, also a Hamas lawmaker, stressed in a written statement that Hamas wouldn't accept to nominate "the same corrupted" security chiefs to seat in the new formed security apparatuses.
By the end of October, rival Hamas and Fatah movements would hold talks in Cairo on forming a new unity government that prepares for early elections and also for forming unified security forces for Gaza and the West Bank.
"The current security chiefs in the West Bank are clearly announcing that they are collaborating with the security forces ofthe Zionist occupation to chase and repress the armed resistance in the West Bank," said al-Masri.
Hamas movement, which took control of the Gaza Strip and ousted President Mahmoud Abbas security forces in June last year, has said it had built up a police force in Gaza that are not corrupted and ended previous chaos and lawlessness.
Abbas' security forces had recently discovered stores of weapons and explosives in the southern West Bank city of Hebron belong to Hamas movement's armed wing al-Qassam Brigades.
The PNA security forces claimed that these weapons and explosions were found in Hebron "aimed at shaking security in the West Bank and were planned to be used against the Palestinian (National) Authority to take control of the West Bank."
Hamas denied in a written leaflet the PNA security officials' claim by saying that the weapons "belong to the forces of resistance and were planned to be used against the Zionist occupation."
