<p style="font-size:10pt;">NABLUS, (PIC)&#8211; Dr. Abdul-Sattar Qassem, political sciences professor at Al-Najah University in Nablus, has strongly criticized investigations carried out jointly between Israeli security forces and those of the Palestinian Authority after a Nablus shooting where Palestinians were suspected of killing a Jewish settler and injuring three more.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">“The Fatah authority is tied with the Israeli occupier. It has no choice but to form such a committee immediately. If it doesn&#8217;t, it won&#8217;t operate, and won&#8217;t eat, and won&#8217;t receive funds,” Qassem said in statements to the PIC.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The political analyst condemned resistance forces over their shortcomings in carrying out duties in the West Bank.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">“Our first duty is to confront the [Israeli occupier] in order to achieve freedom to establish a real Palestinian state and restore the national rights, most prominently, the right of return,” he said.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Qassem said operations like the one that occurred in Nablus Sunday morning place Israeli settlers in real trouble, forcing large numbers of them to leave the occupied West Bank.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">He emphasized that there is no security calm in the West Bank but only “subservience and humiliation”.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">“This is not a calm nor peace. There is an occupation. Those who suffer from occupation do not discuss a security calm but think instead about how to remove the occupation. The PA&#8217;s arguments [for security coordination with Israel] are desperate and outside the logic of human history. They always seek for justification to implement degrading agreements with the Zionist entity.”</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Qassem called on the PA security agencies to terminate security agreements with Israel that force the Palestinians to coordinate with Israeli security apparatuses.</p>
