GAZA, (PIC)-- Zulfikar Shiverjo, a member of PFLP's central committee, revealed that the Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas had cut off its monthly allocations it receives from the Palestine Liberation Organization's (PLO) National Fund.
Shiverjo revealed, in an exclusive statement to the PIC, that the PFLP knew about the decision in early April when Abbas ordered the chairman of the Palestinian National Fund Ramzi Khouri to freeze the PFLP allocations. He speculated that Abbas is attacking PFLP for its opposition to some of his policies including monopolizing decision-making.
The PFLP leader Shiverjo said, “This method is refused by the PFLP. It was used in the past against the movement but in vein”, and affirmed that factions should not deal with each other in that manner which is a form of extortion. He pointed out that the decision has been actually applied since the beginning of the current year despite being made verbally.
The PFLP is considered as one of the biggest factions affiliated with the PLO. It was established in 1967.
For its part, Hamas Movement condemned Abbas on Monday, with its spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri saying, "Abbas uses money to extort political concessions and pass agendas that are rejected nationally." Abu Zuhri said Hamas appreciates PFLP's positions, and called on Abbas to retract the move.
