Israel plans to "occupy" entire region, also "Egypt, the Arab Gulf, Iraq and Jordan" - senior Fatah official
Senior Fatah official Bassem Al-Tamimi: "This [Israeli] plan is not directed only against the Palestinian and the Palestinian territories alone. It is a plan against the Arab region in general to take control of it and even beyond taking control of it – to occupy it directly. The leaders of the occupation (i.e., Israel) have been declaring in recent years, and increasingly in recent days and months, about striving to establish Greater Israel in the region from the Nile River to the Euphrates River… The Palestinians are a target and the Palestinian territories are a target, but all the Arabs are also a target. Egypt is a target, the Arab Gulf is a target, Iraq, Jordan, and so on."
