This took place during the Jenin governor's reception in his office yesterday [March 13, 2019] for a delegation fromthe village of Kafr Yasif in the occupied Palestinian Interior.

Rajoub indicated the importance of encouraging the partnership between the two sides from the starting point of the connection between the members of the one people and the rooted social fabric, far from all of the chains that the occupation has placed between us, which have been bypassed by the resolve and the hold on the land and the Palestinian identity.”
