Hamas has accused the Palestinian Authority of providing security assistance to Israel and assisting in the foiling of terrorist attacks in Judea and Samaria.

Responding to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's announcement of thwarting more than 600 terrorist attacks in the past year, Hamas officials said it is "the result of the existing relationship between the Palestinian Authority and Israel and the ongoing security coordination". Hamas spokesman Abd Al-Latif Al-Qanou called on the PA and the Palestine Liberation Organization to "cancel the signed agreements with Israel and stop activity against the Palestinian organizations."
