Netanyahu acknowledges the armament of Palestinian clans opposing Hamas in Gaza, and "Popular Forces" led by Abu Shabab denied
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that Israel is arming clans in Gaza, which he said is opposed to Hamas.
Netanyahu's statements came after Israeli media reports quoted defensive sources as saying that Netanyahu authorized the provision of a group in southern Gaza with weapons.
Many Israeli politicians accused Netanyahu of endangering Israel's security, and Israeli media have warned of the possibility of "the development of accusations into new political pressure on Israel and undermining the internal front."
"What is wrong with this?" Netanyahu said in a short video clip posted on Twitter.
What the Israeli Prime Minister referred to in the video clip, was the reports that Israel - with a direct authorization of it - is providing a Gaza group led by Yasser Abu Shabab with weapons and is known as the "popular forces".

This group - which some see as a militia or criminal gang - presents itself as an opposition force.
Israel says its goal is to protect trucks that transport aid to Gaza, but opponents say they do the opposite, accusing them of looting trucks.
Israeli defense sources had previously confirmed the validity of the opposition politician Avigdor Lieberman, to the Israeli Prime Minister of providing weapons to "criminals" as he put it.
Lieberman, who heads the Israel Party, accused our home, according to the Israeli channel "Can", Netanyahu of approval unilaterally to arm the Abu Shabab clan.
"The Israeli government is arming a group of criminals and murderers, who are linked to the Islamic State," Lieberman said, adding: "As a science, this matter has not passed with the approval of the Council of Ministers."
Defense sources later confirmed that Israel was armed with the Abu Shabab group - which is active in Rafah, in an area subject to Israeli military control - at Kalashnikov rifles, including some guns that were seized from Hamas.
For his part, Yasser Abu Shabab denied in a clip on the Internet "categorically" that Israel had provided his group with weapons, saying that "our weapons are simple and ancient, and we got it with the support of our people."
The European Council said that Abu Shabab "reported that he was previously imprisoned for Hamas on charges of drug smuggling. It is said that his brother was killed by Hamas during a campaign against the group's attacks on United Nations aid convoys."
Israel always accuses Hamas of looting aid convoys in Gaza.
For its part, Hamas said, "Israel's goal is to cause security and societal chaos, and to market occupation projects to starvate starvation and the theft of humanitarian aid."
She added, "We in Hamas confirm that this official recognition proves what was revealed by the field facts throughout the past months, in clear coordination between the gangs of thieves and collaborators with the occupation and the enemy's itself, in looting of aid and fabricating humanitarian crises that increase the suffering of our besieged people."
While sources in Hamas reported that the movement believes that Abu Shabab's activities have become a problem. A press report in one of the Arab media indicated that the Hamas military wing began carrying out assassinations for members of the clan.
Netanyahu's office said that Israel "is working to defeat Hamas by various means, based on the recommendations of all heads of the security services."
While Yair Golan, the leader of the Democratic Bloc in the Knesset, criticized Netanyahu's move.
He said in a post on the social networking site "X", that "Netanyahu threatens Israeli national security, instead of reaching an agreement and returning the hostages to their homes and providing security for Israeli citizens, he creates a new time bomb in Gaza."
In turn, the Fatah movement, Yasser Abu Shabab, and other "armed gang leaders", which are active under the "cover of Israeli marches", attacked the Palestinians against regularity in "actions outside the traditions of the Palestinian people," according to Fatah's description.
And called on the movement's spokesman in the Gaza Strip, Munther Al -Hayek, the families to prevent their children "from being drawn and joining those groups that move within the spies box." He considered that the support of Israel these groups comes in "the plans of the day after the war, with the aim of spreading chaos and security chaos, and preventing the return of the national authority to the Gaza Strip."
Al -Hayek explained that the Palestinian government "is the only party that must govern the Gaza Strip," noting that there is Arab and Islamic support for that, and pointed out that Hamas "has become weak in the Gaza Strip, and that it must agree to hand over the sector to the National Authority."
As for the Abu Shabab family, it announced its disavowal from Yasser and considered it "out of the family and moral approach of the family," according to a statement that was circulated on social media.
She emphasized that reliable information revealed the involvement of Yasser Abu Shabab in "suspicious practices" after his claim to work in securing humanitarian aid.
The family said that it "will not allow it to be a reason to discredit the family and its honorable history," calling on "everyone who coordinated behind him or engaged in his security groups to disavow him immediately, and to separate from him publicly, before they face an unimaginable fate," according to the circulating statement.
