Al-Aksa Challenges Abbas's Leadership

(Jerusalem Post)Matthew Gutman - "If [Abbas] subsequently goes back on our unalterable demands - a state on pre-1967 lines, its capital in Jerusalem, the right of return of refugees, and the release of prisoners - we will not recognize him," Al-Aksa's Jenin chief Zakariya Zubeidi told the British Financial Times. "I believe that people can get killed when their people believe they are surrendering them to the enemy," said Nablus Al-Aksa leader Nasser Juma'a. Juma'a said that since Arafat's illness the group has received "not a single shekel," but noted that if the PA "makes us feel good and includes us in decisions and shows us respect, then we might change our position."
