Moonbats seethe: Israeli General Security Service guards Abu Mazen and Fayyad

Haaretz reports that under an agreement with the 'Palestinian Authority,' Israel's General Security Service (GSS or Shabak in Hebrew) guards Mahmoud Abbas Abu Mazen and Salam Fayyad whenever one of the two goes into Area C, the part of Judea and Samaria that is under complete Israeli security control.

According to an agreement between Israel and the PA, a team from the Shin Bet's VIP security unit accompanies Abbas and Fayyad whenever they are in Area C, meaning that part of the West Bank that is under full Israeli control according to the Oslo accords.

On Tuesday, for instance, Fayyad visited several villages near Nablus to inaugurate new wells. Because the trip going back and forth between Area C and Area B (where Israel has security control but the PA is in charge of civilian matters), Fayyad's convoy also included an Israel Police patrol car, representatives of Israel's Civil Administration and a jeep full of Shin Bet bodyguards. These guards were responsible for Fayyad's security in Area C, while his Palestinian bodyguards - members of the PA's Presidential Guard - took over in Area B.

Israel Defense Forces sources told Haaretz that the security procedures for guarding Abbas and Fayyad on their trips through the West Bank stem from Israel's desire to avoid having armed Palestinian guards open fire in Area C should their charges come under attack.

The same procedures are in effect when foreign dignitaries visit the West Bank: The Shin Bet guards them in Area C, and the PA takes over in Areas B and A (the latter is the area under full Palestinian control). The Shin Bet also guards Abbas when he visits Israel proper.

Over at Indymedia, the inmates are seething over the news.

The Israeli newspaper, Haaretz, is reporting that quisling: Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad are guarded by Israel's Shin Bet security service on some of their trips around the West Bank ... ."The Shin Bet guards the Palestinian Authority president and the PA prime minister according to regulations, and in full, orderly coordination with all the security services," the Shin Bet said ...

This latest development follows hard on the heels of accusations from PLO leader Farouk Kadoumi that Abbas and the notorious former PA security chief Mohammed Dahlan accompliced in the assassination of the late PLO chief Yasser Arafat and the consequent banning. of Al-Jazeera from the West Bank by Abbas for airing Kadoumi's well founded contentions.

Note
Abbas's term of office expired on Jan 9th last and the PA is simply a gang of his corrupt cronies.

Who needs terrorists when we have Indymedia?
