PLO ambassador: “Main goal is to remove” Israel and “overthrow it from within”
A senior PLO diplomat is openly presenting Israel's elimination as Fatah's "main goal," while endorsing pressure from abroad and "popular resistance" to help "overthrow it from within."
PLO Ambassador to the UK Husam Zomlot: "As a national liberation movement, its [Fatah's] main goal is to remove this occupation (i.e. Israel)… Today is a declaration of a true renewal of Fatah's promise to its people (i.e., to destroy Israel): To continue on this path, either by being resolute, by remaining, through popular resistance (i.e., term that also refers to the use of violence and terror) or abroad by mobilizing the people and public opinion of the world to impose a siege on this occupation and to overthrow it from within."
