ei: Documents reveal PA-Israel collaboration to target resistance

Details on the growing security cooperation between the Ramallah-based Palestinian Authority, the United States and the United Kingdom were revealed yesterday, the third day of Al Jazeera network's release of more than 1,600 internal documents and secret correspondence from the last decade of negotiations between the Israeli government, the Palestinian Authority and the United States.

Al Jazeera also confirmed that the Palestinian Authority was behind -- or assisted Israel in -- extra-judicial executions of high-level political opposition leaders and resistance fighters in the occupied Gaza Strip.

Notes between then Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz and Palestinian Authority Interior Minister Nasser Yousef outline a plan in 2005 to kill Gaza-based al-Aqsa Martyr's Brigade leader Hassan al-Madhoun ("The al-Madhoun assassination," David Poort, 25 January 2011).
