Fatah Central Committee Secretary Jibril Rajoub: "We are heading towards establishing the independent Palestinian state… and no one will have peace, security, or stability without us having a state… We are 7 million Palestinians between the [Jordan] River and the [Mediterranean] Sea … and we will not wave a white flag."

Kuwaiti satellite channel Al-Shahed host: “Is the Fatah Movement’s resistance continuing?”

Jibril Rajoub: “The clash with the occupation has been continuing for 100 years already, and the clash is [our] connection [with the occupation] and the strategic choice. At this stage, we are saying popular resistance (i.e., term used by Palestinians, which also refers to the use of violence and terror)-”

Host: “Is Fatah’s armed resistance continuing or are the talks with the Israeli side putting an end to this matter?”

Jibril Rajoub: “Popular resistance is our choice at this stage. In our national dialogue [with Hamas it was determined that] a general change of the clash with the occupation is conditional on the developments on the ground."
