Headline: “Al-Shuyoukhi: Fatah was the shield of the resistance during the occupation’s aggression against the Gaza Strip”
“Secretary-General of the Palestinian Popular Committees and Fatah Movement leadership member Azmi Al-Shuyoukhi said: ‘The Fatah Movement was the shield of the resistance during the occupation’s aggression against the Gaza Strip in three wars, and it consolidated with the resistance against the latest Israeli aggression that is still continuing and is leaving behind it an unprecedented destruction of the beloved Gaza Strip and hundreds of Martyrs, wounded, and prisoners (refers to Israeli defensive operation in response to Hamas rocket barrages; see note below -Ed.).’ …
He noted that Fatah with all its people is consistent with and completes the resistance and is a shield and nursemaid for the resistance every time, and during the latest aggression of 2021 that is still continuing, members of Fatah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the Democratic Front [for the Liberation of Palestine] (DFLP), and the Popular Front [for the Liberation of Palestine] (PFLP) unified in showing the most spectacular national solidarity and unity on the ground, in comprehensive and full harmony in the Gaza Strip, in our capital Jerusalem, in the West Bank, in the occupied Interior (i.e., Palestinian term for Israel), and in the diaspora states.
He said: ‘The Palestinian [PA] Security Forces and Fatah sacrificed a large number of Martyrs, wounded, and prisoners for the sake of Jerusalem, the resistance, and our people in the Gaza Strip during the barbaric Israeli military aggression.’ …
Al-Shuyoukhi called to strengthen the union of our people’s masses around the resistance by establishing a national unity government in which all shades of the Palestinian political rainbow will participate, and he called on Hamas and Islamic Jihad to join the PLO in order to strengthen it and give it and its institutions life in order to deal with all the dangers, the challenges, and the barbaric and bloody Israeli aggression.”
