Palestine decides its fate alone.

There have been many Israeli and American statements that talk about intentions to hand over the Gaza Strip to international forces, avoiding an existing truth that concerns an entire people and that it alone has the right to determine its fate and who will manage its affairs and who will rule it.

The presence of a foreign party on Palestinian land in the Gaza Strip is considered an illegitimate step and is absolutely rejected by all orientations and sects of the Palestinian people, as said by Palestinian presidential spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh, who indicated that the Netanyahu government would be delusional if it believed it was capable of deciding the fate of the Palestinian people, And perpetuating the occupation by bringing in foreign forces to replace the occupier in the Gaza Strip.

It is not possible to ignore the Palestine Liberation Organization, which is considered the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people and has legal jurisdiction over the entire territory of the State of Palestine in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including Jerusalem. Therefore, what is also required in this sensitive and delicate stage of the Palestinian struggle is the unification of all positions and orientations. Because it constitutes an impregnable immunity for our people on the path to achieving their legitimate goals, and makes it impossible for the settlers’ ambitions and the maneuvers of diplomats to be lost, because our people have the right to live in dignity and freedom, steadfast and clinging to their land and sanctities, preserving their national principles from which they cannot deviate.

The issue of the next day in the Gaza Strip after the end of this sinful aggression is a purely Palestinian issue, and its fate and decision are solely within the authority of the Palestinians. It is not possible to accept any partial solutions or submit the Palestinian issue to referendums, auctions, or the division of the Palestinian land. Our issue is strategic and central, and it cannot end except with defeat and an end. The occupation and its complete withdrawal from the Palestinian territories.

The presence of Arab or international states and entities on Palestinian land is a clear consecration of the occupation authority and the continuation of the aggression, especially since it is consistent with Israel’s directions to continue controlling the Salah al-Din axis and the Netzarim Corridor. This step is also considered a clear marginalization of the role and components of the Liberation Organization, the National Authority, and the Palestinian factions, which is A programmed and deliberate step by Israel and the United States to transform the Gaza Strip into a patch of administrative and political chaos, thus disrupting all efforts aimed at reconstructing and restoring the Gaza Strip, and keeping it under the hell of what is called the third phase of fighting, of which the Shuja’iya scenario and the aggression against it seem to be the most prominent manifestation, and hence the language of war. Threat and destruction will continue to surround Gaza for as long as possible.

What is required is a serious Palestinian, Arab and international stance to confront this Israeli-American colonial plan, which aims to end the entire Palestinian national project.
