The future Palestinian Authority presidential compound will be built along a street named for an infamous Hamas arch-terrorist, Channel 10 reported on Wednesday.

The Ramallah street was named for notorious Hamas suicide bomb mastermind Yihyeh Ayyash, also known as the «engineer» who was the architect of multiple attacks, including a 1994 bombing of a Tel Aviv bus, which killed 20 people, and injured dozens.

Ayyash was killed in 1996 in what was most likely an Israeli assassination, after his cell phone exploded in his Beit Lahia home, in the Gaza Strip.

According to the Channel 10 report, the street sign posted at the Ramallah location read: «Yihyeh Ayyash, 1966-1996, born in Nablus, studied electrical engineering in Bir Zeit University. Was a member of the Iz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, and was linked by Israel to a number of bombings. Was assassinated by Israel in his Beit Lahia (Gaza Strip) home in 5.1.1996».

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a statement in response to the naming, saying it was an «outrageous glorification of terrorism by the Palestinian Authority».

«Right next to a Presidential compound in Ramallah, the Palestinian Authority has named a street after a terrorist who murdered hundreds of innocent Israeli men, women and children», the statement said, adding that «the world must forcefully condemn this official Palestinian incitement for terrorism and against peace»

Last month, the PA canceled a ceremony, ahead of a visit by U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, at which a square in Ramallah was to have been named for Dalal al-Mughrabi, a terrorist who killed 38 Israelis in the so-called Coastal Road massacre of 1978

My comment:

An Arab Palestinian state on the so-called West bank would be equally evil as the Hamas rule in Gaza.

That Fatah names a street in Ramallah after the top Hamas bomb maker, is also a proof that there is not much ideological difference between the two Islamic terror organizations.

The political infighting within the Jihad movement is based on corruption. They can not agree on how to divide the billions of US dollars they have received from Washington.
