Haneyya: Abbas's decision hasty, government will continue to serve the people
[ 15/06/2007 - 01:14 AM ]




GAZA, (PIC)--The PA Prime Minister, Ismail Haneyya said in a press conference, late Thursday night, that his government will continue to function to its best and will remain committed to its duties towards the people.

Haneyya was reacting to Abbas's decision to sack his government and declare a state of emergency which he described as hasty.

He also stressed that the situation in the Palestinian arena does not allow for unilateral decisions without national consensus. He also blamed Abbas's advisors for not reading the repercussions of their advice.

Haneyya recounted the concerted efforts made by the PA security apparatuses to thwart the national unity government pointing specifically the chief of the preventive security, Rashid Abu Shbak.

He also pointed out that the security chaos in the Gaza Strip reached new heights when the presidential guards along with the so called Fatah's executive force started committing crimes against residents of Gaza, executing people based on their affiliations, or growing a beard. They attacked mosques, killed clerics and even raided homes and nothing was done to stop them. "It was the actions of those militias which forced the people to react," he said.

He promised to restore law and order calling on the PA police and the interior ministry's executive force to start implementing the security plan.

He also called on the Qassam fighters who controlled all the security headquarters to announce a general amnesty and promised to start comprehensive national reconciliation.

Haneyya also emphasized the security of foreign nationals and called again for the release of the BBC journalist Allen Johnston. He called for the continuation with the final school exams.

s3 sr,

It's extremely sad what is happening among palestinians. I hope sanity will prevail. I don't think Hamas had any other option but to get rid rof ogue elements of Fatah that were commiting all sorts of crimes and bringing about insecurity among the people.

Fatah is deeply penetrated by foreign influence. When you get used to getting money from others you end up being influenced by the same people who give you money. The late Yasser Arafat was deeply suspicious of Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) and he apparently was right. The only people laughing at this moment are the israelis.

May Allah protect the palestinian people from fitnah.

Ma'a-salaama,

s3 and greetings,

My reading of events is that what has happened is exactly what americans and their allies wanted. We hear now that America and its allies will ease the boycott on West Bank:

I am afraid palestinians have been taken to ride. Allah knows best.

Ma'a-salaama,

Salaam alaykum;

As the news have told:

President Abbas swears in emergency government
Date: 17 / 06 / 2007 Time: 13:21

Bethlehem – Ma'an – Palestinian emergency government was sworn in by President Mahmoud Abbas on Sunday.

This new goverment of Abbas may try they best but unfortunately they are illegal by the Basic Law of Palestine:


The President can sack his Prime Minister (Article 45) but he cannot legally appoint a new Prime Minister that does not represent the majority party (i.e., Hamas).

In the event that a President sacks the PM, the Government is considered to have resigned (Article 83), but the serving Cabinet (here, the Hamas-led Cabinet) is supposed to govern until a new Cabinet is confirmed by the Legislative Council (Article 78).

Only the Legislative Council can confirm the new PM and Cabinet and the new officials cannot take their oaths (Article 67) or assume their duties (Article 79) until this is done. We might now look for the Fayyad government to go to the Legislative Council for post hoc approval, but if the Legislative Council cannot vote for lack of a quorum -- because too many of its members are in jail or refuse to participate -- then the Cabinet cannot be legally confirmed. The Basic Law provides no remedy for conditions where the Legislative Council cannot vote to confirm the Cabinet or the actions of the President.

The President can rule by degree during emergencies (Article 43) but the Legislative Council must approve all these decrees at its first meeting.

The President cannot suspend the Legislative Council during a state of emergency (Article 113).

The President has no power to call early elections, either.

The Basic Law has no provision whatsoever for an "emergency government."

Now the western countries can (again) show how much they really respect democracy; do they support the legal, democraticly elected government or this new one what is formed against the laws...

Usually they, unfortunately, support what the USA wants them to support.
