Fatah spokesman calls for “unification” of Fatah and Hamas “to defeat Israel”
A Fatah spokesman is calling for unity with Hamas as a means to "defeat Israel," aligning Fatah's national strategy with Hamas against Israel.
Fatah Spokesman in the Gaza Strip Mundhir Al-Hayek: "Israel has killed over 75,000 Palestinian civilians in Gaza who have no connection to this war (i.e., Hamas' Oct. 7 war), only because we're Palestinians who cling to our land... Our opinion is clearly the unification of the factions (i.e., Fatah and Hamas) and the unification of our civil society in the face of the [Israeli] annihilation projects [so that] we can defeat Israel... We must unite, and if we do not truly unite, we will head towards the destruction of the Palestinian cause and our national project."
