Islamic Jihad: The Palestinian resistance has the only legitimacy

Senior Islamic Jihad official Mohamed al-Hindi said that “the Palestinian people need their weapons to defend their land against Israel’s aggression,” stressing that “the only legitimacy during the stage of liberation is that of the Palestinian resistance.”

In an interview conducted with him by al-Mayadeen satellite channel on Wednesday, Hinid described those who think they can disarm the resistance as “delusional.”

He slammed the Palestinian Authority leadership for convening the Palestinian National Council (PNC) in Ramallah without national consensus, saying its step reflected its inability to put forward real alternatives and its persistence in pursuing the same failed approach.

The Islamic Jihad official also accused the PA leadership of not respecting any previous agreements and flouting its agreement with the factions to hold the PNC outside the occupied territories.
