RAMALLAH: Facebook has shut down the page of Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas´s party Fatah, apparently over a picture of late leader Yasser Arafat with a weapon, the movement said on Monday. In September, Facebook apologised after temporarily disabling accounts linked to two Palestinian news sites critical of Israel. "We received a message that our page violated Facebook´s regulations," Munir al-Jaghub, a media officer with Fatah and one of the page´s administrators, told AFP. The accounts of the 12 administrators of the page, which according to Jaghub had 70,000 followers, were also suspended for 30 days. Standing next to Arafat is Mahmud al-Alul, recently elected Fatah deputy chairman.

Facebook closed down the official account of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas's party, Fatah, on Monday amidst an ongoing campaign the social media platform is carrying out against accounts that promote violence. Munir Jaghoub, a spokesman of Fatah's Mobilization and Organization commissariat, told The Jerusalem Post that he believes Facebook closed the account because of a historic photo of former PA President Yasser Arafat, grasping a rifle, while standing alongside Fatah Vice Chairman Mahmoud al-Aloul. Relevant to your professional network? Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan even accused Facebook founder Mark Zuckerburg of having "blood on his hands" in July 2016.Nonetheless, Israeli leaders have more recently said that their working relationship with Facebook is improving."Cooperation today is much better than it was in the past," Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked said in February. "To those who argue, to the ignorant, and to those who do not know history…Fatah has killed 11,000 Israelis," the post read.This incendiary post and tens of others, however, stand in sharp contrast to the message of the Fatah chairman, Abbas, pertaining to violence.Abbas has consistently eschewed violence and ordered the PA security forces to arrest Palestinians, who plan to carry out attacks against Israelis.

Facebook shuts down Palestinian ruling party's official account
Facebook on Monday closed the official page of the Palestinian Authority's ruling Fatah party amid a crackdown by the social media giant on Palestinian incitement. In January, Facebook shutdown more than 100 pages belonging or sympathetic to the Hamas terror group in control of the Gaza Strip. Hamas responded by telling its supporters to find other social media platforms outside of Facebook. In a statement on its Twitter account, Fatah, which is headed by PA President Mahmoud Abbas, claimed that Facebook closed the account after it posted a historical picture of former Fatah leader Yasser Arafat holding a rifle, standing alongside Fatah leader Mahmoud al-Aloul. The page, which had garnered over 70,000 likes, routinely posted material that glorified Palestinian terrorism and martyrdom.Facebook closed down the official account of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas's party, Fatah, on Monday amidst an ongoing campaign the social media platform is carrying out against accounts that promote violence.
