Angry crowds chase senior Fatah official away from funeral for Jenin dead

5 July 2023, 8:42 pm Edit

The deputy to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas was driven out of a Jenin funeral for those killed in fighting with the IDF in recent days, with participants shouting “out” as they raged against the PA.

The Fatah-led PA is increasingly seen by some Palestinians as collaborating with Israel rather than fighting for their rights.

Mahmoud al-Aloul and other senior Fatah leaders arrived at the mass funeral for gunmen killed in fighting with Israeli troops, but were met with heckling and shouting from angry crowds and left the scene.
