His Majesty King Hamad’s initiative to hold an international conference for peace is a significant milestone in supporting the Palestinian cause and co-ordinating efforts to foster regional and global security and stability, Fatah’s Central Committee secretary general Lieutenant General Jibril Rajoub has said.
He commended Bahrain’s unflinching support for the Palestinian people and their legitimate rights, voicing readiness to co-ordinate efforts with the kingdom, the chair of the 33rd Arab Summit.
During an interview with our sister paper Akhbar Al Khaleej marking the advent of the movement’s anniversary, he also underlined the need to achieve national unity in Palestine based on three principles: territorial integrity and a single political system, collective national recognition of the UN resolutions as a reference to end the conflict, and ensuring full sovereignty of the Palestinian decision without any foreign influence.
Fatah, formally the Palestinian National Liberation Movement, is a Palestinian nationalist and social democratic political party. It is the largest faction of the confederated multi-party Palestine Liberation Organisation and the second-largest party in the Palestinian Legislative Council.
