Palestinian security forces 'will disobey orders' if Abbas fails to take a stand against Israel

Members of the Palestinian security services gave President Mahmoud Abbas 24 hours to announce a comprehensive confrontation with Israel in the occupied West Bank, due to its continued massacres in Gaza.

A statement by members of the services said if the Palestinian Authority (PA) president does not announce a clear position in which he adopts comprehensive confrontation with the occupation, and if he does not condemn the statements of “the criminal [US Secretary of State]  Blinken”, “there will be no obedience to anyone, no instructions to be implemented, and no loyalty.”

The statement added that dozens of members of the security services will announce their rebellion against the security services today and reveal their names, if a clear decision is not issued by Abbas.

For a month, the Israeli army has been launching a devastating aggression against Gaza, killing 9,770 Palestinians, including 4,800 children and 2,550 women, and injuring more than 24,000 others.

Meanwhile, as many as 151 Palestinians have been killed in the occupied West Bank since 7 October and 2,080 arrested.
