DEBKAfile reports: Palestinian municipal elections on the West Bank end in Hamas landslide victories in Al-Bireh, Nablus and Jenin, crushing Abu Mazen’s Fatah

December 15, 2005, 11:45 PM (GMT+02:00)

The Palestinian jihadist group is using its victory as a fulcrum for further offensives: 1. Hamas is revealed by DEBKAfile’s counter-terror sources as orchestrating the escalating Palestinian terror campaign. Fellow terrorist groups are paid to maintain Qassam missile fire against Israel. The launch against Ashkelon was executed by the Jihad Islami. The foiled truck-bomb attack on the Jerusalem Tunnel road was the work of hirelings of Fatah-al Aqsa Brigades.

Hamas is rounding up independent candidates and paying them to run in the January general election as Hamas proxies – provided they sign a document of commitment to the “liberation” of every part of Palestine, including Israel. Hamas has further taken under its wing groups and individuals of the al Aqsa Brigades.

These inroads by Hamas, together with the breakup of his own Fatah, undermine any pretensions Mahmoud Abbas may have to represent the Palestinian people – and badly shake a pillar of the policies pursued by President Bush and Ariel Sharon.
