“The following is a statement issued after the PLO Executive Committee’s meeting [led by PA President Mahmoud Abbas on Jan. 5, 2023]:
…
The Executive Committee salutes all our heroic prisoners in the occupation’s prisons who are resisting with their resolve, defiance, and fierce willpower to all the occupation’s attempts to break their determination… and just as heroic prisoner Karim Younes (i.e., terrorist, murdered 1 together with an accomplice) will be released, so too our prisoner leaders Marwan Barghouti (i.e., terrorist, orchestrated three attacks in which 5 were murdered), Fuad Al-Shubaki (i.e., senior PA official and weapons smuggler), and Ahmad Sa’adat (i.e., head of the PFLP terror organization) will be released…
The Executive Committee expressed its appreciation for the UN’s call to mark the 75th anniversary of the Nakba (i.e., “the catastrophe,” Palestinian term for the establishment of the State of Israel)… and emphasized that no statute of limitations will apply to our people’s right [of return] that rests on [UN] Resolution 194 (see note below -Ed.), and it will remain one of our people’s basic principles and decisions of national consensus.”
