Two governments at odds

The suffering from the stand-off in fractured Palestine is a disgrace, says Saleh Al-Naami, Al-Ahram Weekly, 2-8/08/07. Raji Al-Sourani, a lawyer and director of the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, one of the largest and most important human rights organisations in Palestine, believes that President Abu Mazen holds a large degree of responsibility for the suffering people are enduring due to the conflict between the two governments. Al-Sourani told the Weekly he disapproved of Abu Mazen and the Fayyad government issuing decisions merely to undermine the Haniyeh government. "Why did the Fayyad government order its police not to report to their units and threaten those undertaking their duties with loss of pay? They are destroying the judiciary," said Al-Sourani. He pointed to the positive results produced by Hamas's control over the Gaza Strip. "As a man of law and one in charge of a human rights organisation that has taken on the responsibility of dealing with the lack of security, I am certain that the security situation in the Gaza Strip has not been better than it is now," Al-Sourani asserted.
