The Secretary-General of the Islamic Jihad movement, Ziyad al-Nakhala, threatened to boycott the planned meeting of the Palestinian leadership in the Egyptian capital of Cairo at the end of July over the Palestinian Authority's arrest campaign in the West Bank.
In a press briefing in Beirut, Al-Nakhala slammed the wave of detentions by the Palestinian Authority against Islamic Jihad activists, and said that the move has condemned the confab of secretary-generals of different Palestinian factions "to failure."
