Khader Habib, a senior member of the Islamic Jihad in Gaza, has told the Shihab website that Palestinian Authority security cooperation with Israel is a betrayal and that PA Chairman Abu Mazen should be ashamed and not boast about it. Rather Abbas should immediately stop in in accordance with decisions made by PA institutions.
Habib was responding to reports that Abbas told a Peace Now delegation that he was in contact with Nadav Argaman, the head of the Shabak Israel Security Agency, and that he agreed with him on about 99 percent of the issues under discussion. Regarding the security situation in the Gaza Strip, Habib said that the cease-fire is based on the "understandings" of 2014, which the organizations of the struggle maintain as long as Israel is in compliance.
