Senior Fatah official Rajoub: Normalization with Israel in sports and economy are taboo
Senior Fatah official Jibril Rajoub: "Once again, we hope that the Arab Summit will emphasize that normalization and ties with Israel – as long as Palestine is occupied – are taboo... We do not want to see Israelis in the Arab capitals – not for purposes of sports, not for purposes of economy, not for purposes of cooperation, and so on. As long as the Palestinian state has not been established, this must remain taboo."
