Fatah leadership “insisted” released terrorists “have the right to be partners in Fatah”

Fatah Spokesman and Eighth Fatah Conference preparatory committee member Iyad Abu Zneit: "The composition of the [Eighth Fatah] Conference is diverse and rich... Of course, the released prisoners (i.e., terrorists) [are also represented], as they precede everything. I will emphasize that the leadership insisted on there being broad representation for the [released] prisoners at this conference… The group of prisoners that these ones represent from among those in the Fatah Movement also constitutes a significant number [of members], a large number, who have their own role, and we hold them in the highest regard.They have the right to be partners in Fatah, in the [Fatah] Revolutionary Council, in the leadership of the [Fatah] Central Committee, and in any place they can reach."
