Headline: “Ramallah: Fatah establishes a mourners’ tent for the Martyrs of the Israeli aggression”
“The Fatah Movement established a mourners’ tent in Ramallah yesterday [May 25, 2021] for the Martyrs of the uprising of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Sheikh Jarrah [neighborhood of Jerusalem], the Gaza Strip, and the 1948 territories (i.e., Israel; refers to violent Arab riots and Hamas rocket barrages, see note below).
Fatah Movement Deputy Chairman [and Fatah Central Committee member] Mahmoud Al-Aloul said: ‘Today we are eulogizing a large number of Martyrs who ascended [to Heaven] while defending Jerusalem and Palestine throughout the homeland, including Lebanese Martyr Muhammad Al-Tahhan (i.e., rioter who breached the Israeli border with Lebanon during riots and was shot by Israeli soldiers defending the border).’ He noted: ‘All the Martyrs are our children, and they dwell in our hearts, our minds, and our souls.’
He emphasized that our people are standing firm everywhere and said that ‘The occupation did not take into account the value of Jerusalem in the souls and minds of all the Palestinians, for whose sake [former PLO Chairman and PA President] Martyr Yasser Arafat and the rest of the Martyrs died. It is part of the faith, and it cannot be that we would allow it to be ignored.’ …
Al-Aloul continued: ‘We have succeeded in restoring to the Palestinian cause and Jerusalem their status in the world and the international forums, and we have pulled the attention back to Palestine. We must take advantage of what we have achieved through our unity, and we this must not be lost. Thus, we will lay the basis for an international stand alongside the Palestinian people, which will lead it towards an international conference and reining in the occupier.’ …
The father of Lebanese Martyr Muhammad Al-Tahhan said in a recorded speech: ‘I am proud that my son Muhammad chose the path of Martyrdom-death and watered the borders of Palestine with his blood. In this way he sacrificed his soul for the sake of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and Jerusalem, which proves our partnership that is soaked in the blood of the Martyrs, and that we are remaining committed to the promise until the homeland’s liberation.’”
