Official PA TV YouTube channel, PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’ official speech for the 54th anniversary of Fatah’s “Launch” (Intilaqa) of Fatah, commemorated on the anniversary of their first attempted terror attack, filmed in his headqua
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas: “Fatah and the rest of the people’s sectors, and all of the Palestinian national activity factions, have sacrificed convoys of Martyrs (Shahids), prisoners, and wounded, and we honor them and say to them: We are still on the path of the oath and the commitment; we are adhering to the national principles and keeping to our national plan, and our independent decision under the leadership of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO)…
Our struggle must continue only against the one that is occupying our land, our Jerusalem, and our holy sites…
I turn especially to the family members of the heroic Martyrs and prisoners, and to the brave wounded people and their families, and bless them and say to them: Continue to stand patient and steadfast on the path of freedom and resolve on our land, and protecting the unity of purpose. The dawn of freedom and victory is undoubtedly arriving, sooner or later. The issue of the prisoners' release will continue to be our top priority. Glory and eternity to our pure Martyrs, freedom to our heroic prisoners, and healing to our wounded. Long live free and Arab Palestine; long live Jerusalem, the eternal capital of the State of Palestine; and peace to you.”
Intilaqa - "the Launch" refers to the beginning of Fatah on Jan. 1, 1965, when it carried out its first terror attack against Israel, attempting to blow up Israel's National Water Carrier.
