plan to kill Palestinian fighter in Gaza.

The Palestinian Authority (PA) has shown operational willingness to co-operate
with Israel to kill its own people, the Palestine Papers indicate.
Madhoun's family reacts
Among the documents are notes, handwritten in Arabic, revealing an exchange in
2005 between the PA and Israel on a plan to kill a Palestinian fighter named
Hassan al-Madhoun, who lived in the Gaza strip.
Al-Madhoun (born 1973) was a leading figure within the Al Aqsa Martyr's
Brigade, a movement aligned to Fatah, which at that stage still held power in
Gaza. Al-Madhoun had been accused by Israel of planning deadly bombings at
Israel's Ashdod port and the Qarni crossing between Gaza and Israel.
In a joint committee meeting on fugitives in October 2005 [LINK] in Tel Aviv
between Shaul Mofaz, the then-Israeli defence minister, and Nasser Youssef, the
PA minister of interior, the PA was asked to kill al-Madhoun.
Mofaz: "[
] Hassan Madhoun, we know his address and Rasheed Abu Shabak
[chief of the Preventative Security Organisation in Gaza] knows that. Why don't
you kill him? Hamas fired [Qassam rockets] because of the elections and this is
a challenge to you and a warning to Abu Mazen [Mahmoud Abbas, the PA
president]."
Youssef: "We gave instructions to Rasheed [Abu Shabak] and will see."
Mofaz: "Since we spoke, he has been planning an operation, and that's four
weeks ago, and we know that he wants to strike Qarni or Erez [another border
crossing between Gaza and Israel]. He is not Hamas and you can kill him."
Youssef: "We work, the country is not easy, our capabilities are limited,
and you haven't offered anything."
Mofaz: "I understand that nothing has been accomplished in the [Gaza]
Strip."
Less then a month after this meeting, on November 1, 2005, al-Madhoun was
killed in his car by a missile fired from an Israeli Apache helicopter over the
skies of Gaza. The attack also killed a wanted Hamas activist and wounded three
other people.
The very next day, Mofaz, who by that time was in Washington, pledged to ease
the lives of Palestinians and to pursue peacemaking with President Abbas.

Demanding a demilitarized state
Israeli negotiators demanded to keep their troops in the West Bank and control
over Palestinian airspace.
Alastair Crooke: The limits of autonomy
The accumulation of restrictions under the rubric "demilitarization" amounts to
nothing more than a new occupation.
Robert Grenier: A letter to the Israeli people
The US president should write that the US "must withdraw from the peace
process."
"We want to deal with President Abbas," Mofaz said after meeting with
Condoleezza Rice, the then-US Secretary of State, before going to the White
House to confer with Stephen Hadley, the then-national security adviser.
"We are waiting to see how the Palestinian Authority will deal with terrorist
groups," the Israeli minister said.
The Palestine Papers appear to reveal two primary motives for the Palestinian
Authority's collaboration with Israel and their crackdown on dissent.
Firstly, it serves to maintain the movement's political supremacy at a time
when it is being questioned. Secondly, it is an attempt to signal to the US
that it wants to remain a trusted partner in peace talks, regardless the costs.
Saeb Erekat, the PA's chief negotiator acknowledged the cost of gaining US
approval and Israeli trust, in a meeting on September 17, 2009 with David Hale,
the deputy US Middle East envoy.
Erekat: We have had to kill Palestinians to establish one authority, one
gun and the rule of law. We continue to perform our obligations. We have
invested time and effort and killed our own people to maintain order and the
rule of law.
It is not clear as to which killings Erekat is referring to but the discussion
about the plan to kill al-Madhoun is just one example of how, since the death
of Yasser Arafat, Fatah's policy of resistance to Israel has become one of
collaboration.
The Palestine Papers show how the Al Aqsa Martyr's Brigade, once the spearhead
of action against the Israeli occupation, has been transformed into a body that
helps maintaining it.
During the Annapolis talks in 2008, Ahmed Qurei, the former Palestinian prime
minister also known as Abu Ala, and his Israeli counterpart Tzipi Livni,
discussed collaboration between the brigade and the Israeli security forces.
"Al Aqsa Martyr's Brigade is part of the Fatah movement and they agreed to be
part of the current security apparatus, even though this was not my position
when I was a prime minister. I wanted the Brigade to remain as it was to
confront Hamas," Qurei told Livni.
With the common goal of destroying Hamas, the Palestine Papers reveal the
extent to which the PA, the US and Israel were willing to work together, and
the extent to which the PA linked the fate of Hamas with its own political
survival.
"[
] reaching an agreement is a matter of survival for us. It's the way to
defeat Hamas," Erekat told Marc Otte, the EU negotiator, in June 2008.
Earlier that year, on January 22, Qurei told Livni; "We'll defeat Hamas if we
reach an agreement, and this will be our response to their claim that gaining
back our land can be achieved through resistance only."
