Abbas threatens to scale back security ties with Israel

Acting Palestinian Authority Chief Mahmoud Abbas has said he may scale back security ties with Israel following the December 26 Israeli raid in Nablus.

According to Abbas, Israeli provocations and incursions have recently increased.

"The provocations and assaults have multiplied recently. We find ourselves at a point in which it is time to reassess our activities," Abbas said in an interview with Palestinian television on Friday.

"If security cooperation cannot lower the level of provocations, we will reassess the situation," he added.

He made the comments after Israeli soldiers shot dead three Palestinians who were supposed to be arrested.

Earlier Friday, Israeli officials acknowledged that they had ordered soldiers to arrest Adnan Subuh, Raad Sarkaji and Ghassan Abu Sheikh in Nablus last week.

According to eyewitnesses, the Palestinian trio was summarily executed.

The victims were members of the Fatah Movement, led by acting Palestinian Authority Chief Mahmoud Abbas.
