Fatah senior official pays visit "to offer condolences" to families of "Martyrs" Ra’ad Fathi Hazem and Diya Hamarsheh who together murdered 8 civilians
Headline: “Abbas Zaki: Palestinian national unity is a duty and essential for achieving national independence”
“Fatah Movement Central Committee member Abbas Zaki said: ‘We must implement the recent decisions of the [Palestinian] National Council (i.e., the legislative body of the PLO) that convened in Ramallah, which determine that we must stop the security coordination with the Israeli occupation and revoke the recognition of it, in light of the criminal policy of murder and execution, which the occupation is committing against the Palestinian people.’
He added: ‘The Israeli occupation soldiers’ invasion of the Jenin district and its [Jenin] refugee camp (refers to counter-terror activity -Ed.) and the settlers’ invasion of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque plazas complement each other. Every attack on the Jenin refugee camp is an attack on every city, village, and refugee camp in all of Palestine. Jenin and its refugee camp, which in 2002 fought a heroic battle against the occupation soldiers (refers to terrorists attacking soldiers conducting a counter-terror operation; see note below -Ed.), are capable of standing against the invading occupiers and handing them defeat.’
In statements made during a visit he paid to the Jenin refugee camp and the town of Ya’abad to offer condolences over the death of the three Martyrs Ra’ad Fathi Hazem (i.e., terrorist, murdered 3), Ahmed Al-Sa’adi (i.e., terrorist, shot at Israeli soldiers), and Diya Hamarsheh (i.e., terrorist, murdered 5), he said: ‘The international community must stop the massacres that the occupation army is committing against the fighting Palestinian people, which is defending its homeland with honor and courage.’ …
He emphasized that… it is the right of our people in all areas of occupied Palestine to resist the Israeli occupation, which has denied all the agreements and does not recognize this people’s existence and its legitimate rights to its land and its homeland.”
The PA and its leaders misrepresent all of the Temple Mount as an integral part of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Therefore, they vilify any presence of Jews on the mount as an "invasion." It should be noted that Jews who visit the Temple Mount only enter some sections of the open areas, and do not enter the Al-Aqsa Mosque or the Dome of the Rock. Israeli police ban Jewish prayer at the Temple Mount because of threats of violence by Palestinians.
