PFLP pushes for “comprehensive confrontation” with Israeli occupation

Member of the political bureau of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) Kayed al-Ghoul called on the Palestinian Authority (PA) to thoroughly assess its experiences with the Israeli occupation and launch a comprehensive confrontation with the Israeli occupation and its institutions.

Al-Ghoul said in a press statement Sunday: “Today we’re facing an entity entrenched in racist and fascist dogmas perpetrated by the Netanyahu government, whose members have been inciting for killing Palestinians.”

He said simmering pre-planned murders against Palestinians, most notably Ziyad Abu Ein, strangled to death, and the child Mohamed Abu Khdeir, burned to death, are a result of such dogmas.

Al-Ghoul called for the need to halt security coordination and the cancellation of all of the deals struck with the Israeli occupation, which has been manipulating pre-planned terror tactics to wipe out Palestinians.

He pushed for a standpoint to be adopted by the Palestinian leadership as a means to restore the occupied Palestinian territories from the grips of the Israeli enemy on the basis of a unified national strategy that also restores Palestinians’ rights.

He further stressed the need to press ahead with restructuring national institutions on a democratic and joint basis in which all parties take part.

He said one of the objectives of the Kerry-Netanyahu meeting in Italy is the resumption of the bilateral negotiations in an attempt to mislead the international community into believing in the possibility of establishing a Palestinian independent state.

He warned of Israel-U.S attempts to deal a heavy blow to the rising wave of pro-Palestine moves.

A-Ghoul called on the Palestinian leadership to be on the alert to such promises and never yield in to any pressures aimed at resuming the peace talks.

He said halting the security coordination with the Israeli occupation is a necessary move to boost up national unity and face up to the Israeli occupation.
