Headline: “Al-Aloul: The torch lighting for the 56th anniversary of the outbreak of the revolution will take place on Thursday evening next to Martyr Yasser Arafat’s mausoleum”
“Fatah Movement Deputy Chairman [and Fatah Central Committee member] Mahmoud Al-Aloul announced that the torch lighting for the 56th anniversary of the outbreak of the Palestinian revolution (i.e., the anniversary of “the Launch” of Fatah, counted from its first terror attack against Israel) will take place on Thursday evening [Dec. 31, 2020], next to [former PLO Chairman and PA President] Martyr leader Yasser Arafat’s mausoleum at the [PA] presidential headquarters in Ramallah.
Participation will be limited due to the Coronavirus.
In an interview with [the official PA] radio [station] The Voice of Palestine yesterday, Al-Aloul added that the torches of the outbreak of the revolution will be lit in all the districts, and that the activities on the following day… will focus on increasing and escalating the popular resistance (i.e., term used by Palestinians, which also refers to the use of violence and terror) at the points of friction with the occupation and at the sites that are threatened by the settlement enterprise…
Regarding the American decision to mark products from the settlements as Israeli, Al-Aloul said that the decision is ‘an illegal step and part of a series of decisions whose goal is to legalize the settlement enterprise.’ He noted that there is a decision by the united national leadership to begin reviving the economic resistance, and to boycott all the Israeli goods and not just those from the settlements.”
