Abbas: “We will not agree that our Martyrs be considered terrorists… we will not agree that [Israel] deduct even one penny from their money… the Martyrs, wounded, and prisoners are the holiest things we have”
Posted text: "*[PA] President [Mahmoud Abbas] in the Jalazone [refugee] camp: We will remain in our homeland and nobody can move us from here, and those that happen to be on the land do not have a right to this country.
*The Muslims and the Christians in this country are brothers, and the Christians are not a minority; the Christians are members of the people, the churches are our churches, the temples are our temples, and the Christians are our relatives and our brothers until the Day of Judgment…
*We have said to them, and we say to the entire world: No to the deal of shame. We said: No to the Warsaw meeting, no to the Manama meeting (i.e., refers to US-led conference in Bahrain in June 2019 focusing on economic aspects of US President Donald Trump's Middle East peace plan), and no to anything that the Palestinian people does not accept.
*We will not agree that our Martyrs be considered terrorists; our Martyrs are the homeland’s Martyrs and we will not agree that [Israel] deduct even one penny from their money (i.e., referring to Israel's Anti "Pay-for-Slay" Law to deduct terror salaries; see note below). All of their money will return to them as the Martyrs, wounded, and prisoners are the holiest things we have."
