Fatah: Israel – “the thieving cancerous entity’s end is approaching,” despite “criminal US’” support
- PA TV commentator called for destruction of Israel, “must reach its end”
The US embraces the Palestinian Authority as a peace partner and wants Israel to let the PA rule the Gaza Strip. But at the same time, PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah Movement defines the US as “criminal” and Israel as the “criminal… thieving cancerous entity,” whose “days are numbered”:
Fatah Revolutionary Council member Bayan Al-Tabib: “We will not surrender to this criminal occupier (i.e., Israel) nor to the criminal US that supports this cancerous entity with all the power at its disposal. We are closer than ever to freedom and getting rid of this criminal occupation, this thieving cancerous entity. Its days are numbered… its end is approaching, and the internal disputes within it will undermine its stability. We say: … Allah is with us and will grant us victory over these murderous criminals.”

Earlier this year, a PA TV commentator similarly explained to viewers that the war is “the start of the collapse of this entity”:
Political commentator Saleh Abu Laben: “This historical epic that the Palestinian people is waging (i.e., the 2023 Gaza war) - its hero is the Palestinian people - has led to the start of the collapse of this entity [Israel]. We are currently seeing the start of the collapse of this entity. This entity must reach its end.”

Official PA TV broadcast an interview with an Egyptian expert on international relations who also foresees Palestinian “victory” in the war and the end of the State of Israel:
Egyptian expert on international relations Dr. Ahmed Al-Sayid Ahmed: “I say even though the price is high, the Palestinians will triumph, and this occupation and this state (i.e., Israel) are temporary.”

Palestinian Authority and Fatah education fundamentally rejects Israel's right to exist and anticipates its destruction. Official PA TV regularly interviews officials, experts and others who reinforce these opinions.
