Violence – “struggle in all its forms” – is our right, according to international resolutions, says Fatah official
Fatah Central Committee member and Fatah Commissioner of NGOs Dalal Salameh: “The [joint] statement emphasized our legal right – according to all the international resolutions – to struggle in all its forms. But at this stage, we say the struggle is popular resistance, and for this popular resistance committees are being established so that it will be more comprehensive and more intensive and strong against this occupation.”
Salameh refers to the “joint statement” from the meeting of the secretary-generals of the Palestinian “factions,” which include several terror organizations, on Sept. 3, 2020. Following the meeting, the United National Leadership of the Popular Resistance was established to oversee and direct the “popular resistance.” In this committee, Fatah is coordinating openly with representatives of internationally designated terror organizations such as Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
