Palestinian Islamic Jihad rages as PA resumes ties with Israel

Palestinian Islamic Jihad harshly criticizes the Palestinian Authority’s decision to restore coordination with Israel.

The Palestinian terror group implies that this could end ongoing efforts to promote national reconciliation between rival factions Fatah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad. The movements have been at odds since 2007, when Hamas expelled Fatah from the Gaza Strip after a bloody struggle for control of the coastal enclave.

“This is a coup against all the attempts to promote national cooperation. This is an alliance with the enemy,” Islamic Jihad says in a statement.
