Fatah Central Committee member Abbas Zaki: “We are partners of the position of Russia today, and of the Soviet Union in the past, against the monopoly and occupation led by the American administration and imperialism, which are only interested in profit, regardless of how many victims there will be in any country…
My brothers, our Palestinian people is a people that does not kneel and does not bow. Allah chose it to be strong, since for 73 years we have been under this occupation that is settling [settlers], expelling [Palestinians], and expanding. They said that the adults would die and the young would forget, but the adults became teachers and the young are breaking the checkpoint of fear with machine guns and rocks against this Israeli enemy. They said that this is a land without a people for a people without a land, but today you will find that we are more numerous than them. Soon, Allah willing, in another 10 years, we will triumph through the demographic bomb even if we will be alone, and all the more so when Russia, China, and the forces of good and progress in the world are standing by our side.We are dealing with a state that may be called Israel, but it is a rogue state that transgresses the rules of international law, and what is more – it is a gang…
This arrogant enemy is currently being led by [Israeli Prime Minister] Naftali Bennett. Naftali Bennett is the [former] director-general of the settlement enterprise association Yesha [Council] (i.e., an umbrella organization of Israeli municipal councils in the West Bank), and he is more right-wing than [former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu. He is aided by [Israeli Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Justice] Gideon Sa’ar, who left the Likud [party] because he is in favor of slaughtering Arabs, as is [Israeli Minister of Finance Avigdor] Liberman (sic., neither has spoken in favor of “slaughtering Arabs”). The three of them are striving to annex Area C (i.e., land under full Israeli administration according to the Oslo Accords)…
We are happy that the world is standing by our side. These days, despite the Zionism of [US President Joe] Biden and [US Secretary of State Antony] Blinken who said that it is Israel’s right to defend itself, I hear that they have said the Palestinians have the right to live in dignity. We and Russia are partners in the hostility that the American administration is demonstrating against us. Russia is a world power, and despite this the US in its insolence is imposing a blockade on it – so imagine how they are liable to behave against us…
We are completely certain that [Russian] President [Vladimir] Putin has become a factor that cannot be ignored in the equations of the world leaders, just like [Chinese] President Xi Jinping. We place great hopes in these two states because they are Heaven’s gift to earth, to all of humanity, which is suffering from monopoly, hegemony, and occupation…
Our lauded people acted comprehensively the other day – both those who rose up (the verb “rose up” has the same root as “intifada” -Ed.) to defend the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and to prevent the ethnic cleansing in the Sheikh Jarrah [neighborhood of Jerusalem] and in Batn Al-Hawa and Al-Bustan in the Silwan [neighborhood of Jerusalem], and also the rocket barrages from the Gaza Strip (refers to violent Arab riots and Hamas rocket barrages; see note below -Ed.). All the forms of struggle complement each other according to UN Resolution 3236, which says that the Palestinian people may use all forms of struggle, including armed struggle (sic., see note below). This victory must not come to nothing…
My brother [Russian Ambassador to the PA] Gocha [Levanovich Buachidze], you must help us so we will be rid of this tyrannical enemy with minimal damage, because [the Israelis] are truly a destructive factor and not a factor of stability.”
