Press Release
The Palestinian Authority Aligned with the Enemies of Allah Completes the Role of the Wrathful in Persecuting the People of Palestine and Arresting Advocates of Truth
(Translated)

A couple of days ago, the security forces of the Palestinian Authority (PA) arrested Sheikh Aws Abu Arqoub and Sheikh Muhammad Manasrah, members of Hizb ut Tahrir. By arresting those who speak the truth, the PA and its forces insist on being the spearhead of the Jews, stabbing the entire people of Palestine. The current situation reflects the actions of the Authority; the criminal occupying entity arrested Dr. Musab Abu Arqoub, a member of the Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir in the Blessed Land - Palestine, more than six months ago. Today, the PA and its apparatus arrest his brother Aws Abu Arqoub, as if to say they embody the hatred of the Jews toward us. What the enemy starts, the PA completes, and this is not new in the positions of the Palestinian Authority. It is the same Authority that kills, pursues, and arrests the Mujahideen in Jenin, Tulkarm, Nablus, Bethlehem, and elsewhere, paving the way with its betrayal for the enemy to kill, arrest, and destroy.

With these criminal actions, the PA adds another wound to the people of Palestine, already deeply hurt by their enemy, and increases their suffering. The people are already facing killing, displacement, starvation, siege, and house demolitions in Gaza and the West Bank. Their prisons are filled with Mujahideen, elders, children, women, and truth-bearers, including the Shabab of Hizb ut Tahrir, who are part of the people of Palestine and are advocates for the Ummah's liberation of Palestine and the relief of Gaza and its people day and night. This call disturbs the enemy, troubles their sleep, and disrupts their lives just as the Mujahideen of Gaza do.

The Shabab of Hizb ut Tahrir in the Blessed Land, like the people of Palestine, are as steadfast as the good tree rooted in the ground. In contrast, the PA is like an evil tree, with no stability, close to being uprooted by a breeze from the people of Palestine, to be cast into a deep place alongside the likes of Mubarak, Gaddafi, Ben Ali, and those before them who betrayed Allah and His Messenger and oppressed the Ummah. If the PA had any sense, it would sever its ties with the enemies of the people of Palestine before it faces torment from Allah or at the hands of the people of Palestine and the entire Ummah.

[إِنَّ الَّذِينَ ‌يُؤْذُونَ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ لَعَنَهُمُ اللهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ عَذَاباً مُهِيناً * وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ بِغَيْرِ مَا اكْتَسَبُوا فَقَدِ احْتَمَلُوا بُهْتَاناً وَإِثْماً مُبِيناً]

“Indeed, those who abuse Allah and His Messenger - Allah has cursed them in this world and the Hereafter and prepared for them a humiliating punishment. And those who harm believing men and believing women for [something] other than what they have earned have certainly born upon themselves a slander and manifest sin.” [Surat Al-Ahzab:57-8]
