Palestinian legitimacy is represented by the PLO

For years, the Israeli colonial entity, its master, and those who orbit around it have sought to target Palestinian legitimacy represented by the Palestine Liberation Organization as the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people, which it acquired through the struggle and sacrifices of the Palestinian people led by the PLO and its factions, led by its backbone, the Fatah movement, on the path to freedom, independence, self-determination, and the establishment of an independent state with Jerusalem as its capital, and enabling Palestinian refugees to return to their cities and villages from which they were forcibly expelled in 1948.

Why is the targeting escalating?

First: To confiscate the independent Palestinian decision.

Second: Removing the obstacle to liquidating the Palestinian cause with its pillars, establishing the state and the return of Palestinian refugees in implementation of international resolutions.

Third: Undermining the expansion of international recognition of the Palestinian state, which means aborting the racist Zionist Israeli narrative by denying the existence of the Palestinian people and their fundamental and historical right to their homeland, historical Palestine. Fourth: Excluding and marginalizing the representative of the Palestinian people from their legal, political and human rights responsibilities by pursuing the terrorist Israeli colonial entity in international forums, courts, institutions and bodies, as is currently happening in the General Assembly, the Human Rights Council, the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice, to mobilize broad international opinion aimed at supporting the rights of the Palestinian people to freedom and independence and isolating the Israeli entity internationally, as punishment for its crimes and violations of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and international covenants, charters and agreements, and its failure to abide by the United Nations Charter and its refusal to implement any of its resolutions.

Fifth: Undermining the establishment of an independent Palestinian state recognized internationally by virtue of General Assembly Resolutions No. 181 and 19/67/2012, as this means aborting the Israeli-American plan to enable the artificial Israeli colonial entity to continue its aggressive expansionist policy at the expense of the security, unity and stability of the Arab states.

Sixth: Abolishing the national dimension of the Palestinian people’s struggle for freedom and independence and returning the Palestinian cause to a humanitarian and living dimension, i.e. to the situation that prevailed before the outbreak of the Palestinian revolution on January 1, 1965.

Seventh: Facilitating the use of the Palestinian cause as a card in the hands of regimes as a credential to gain the satisfaction of the Israeli enemy, and consequently the United States of America, especially with the second term of President Trump, which he began by announcing his intention, after what happened to the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip as a result of the war of extermination, ethnic cleansing and destruction committed by the Israeli occupation authorities with American support and enablement, to forcibly displace the sons of the Palestinian people from the Gaza Strip, and prevent them from returning in preparation for repeating the same scenario in the West Bank, the signs of which began weeks ago.

The targeting also aims, through a campaign of systematic doubt and accusations, to undermine the unity of the Palestinian people inside and outside the occupied territories, and to undermine their will to continue their struggle by all internationally guaranteed means until their national goals are achieved, which requires working to put the Palestinian house in order, in a way that enhances its strength and resilience through:

* Freezing any internal differences between the Palestinian forces regarding the national strategy of struggle, and unifying within the framework of the Palestine Liberation Organization and its strategy approved by the National Council and the Central Council, which means that most Palestinian factions agree on it. As long as there is consensus on establishing an independent Palestinian state on the borders of June 4 with Jerusalem as its capital, there is no longer a contradiction between programs and goals.

* Palestinian legitimacy is exclusively represented by the PLO, not the Palestinian Authority, which was established by a decision of the Palestinian Central Council to manage the affairs of citizens within the occupied territories throughout the transitional period that was scheduled, according to the Oslo transitional phase agreement, to end with the end of the Israeli occupation in May 1999, and thus the establishment of the independent Palestinian state.

* The elections of the Legislative Council, which was born according to the Oslo Agreement, did not and will not acquire the legitimacy of national political representation of the Palestinian people before the establishment of the independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, and the implementation of General Assembly Resolution No. 194 enabling Palestinian refugees to return to their cities and villages by virtue of its duties and membership, and by virtue of its non-representation of the Palestinian people abroad and in exile, and by virtue of the automatic membership of the members of the elected Legislative Council in the Palestinian National Council, and what indicates the political role is entrusted only to the Palestine Liberation Organization and its institutions.

* The necessity of immediately ending the political and geographical division between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, which resulted from what Hamas did, according to its name, the military decision.

* Giving priority to the supreme Palestinian interest over all other considerations. This requires a final exit from the box of dependency and external influence and strengthening the independent Palestinian decision, which in no way means neglecting the importance and necessity of coordination with Arab, Islamic, African and friendly countries to form a broad international front to confront the Israeli colonial plan, by perpetuating its occupation of the occupied and internationally recognized Palestinian state lands, and to prevent it from being able to escape implementing international resolutions calling for ending its occupation, and to enable the Palestinian people to establish their independent state with Jerusalem as its capital, and to prevent it, as a result of American support and bias, from escaping accountability and punishment stipulated in the United Nations Charter for its crimes and violations that are internationally punishable against the Palestinian people.

Putting the Palestinian house in order means unifying the Palestinian ranks behind the national goal of liberation from the yoke of the Israeli colonial occupation of the occupied Palestinian state lands, which is internationally recognized and supported by Arab and Islamic countries in particular, and the world that believes in upholding the supremacy of justice, human rights, and the right of peoples to freedom and self-determination in general, the only way to abort the Israeli-American plan for forced displacement, annexation, and subjugation of Palestinian lands, whether to the Israeli colonial occupation authorities or to the American authority.

The attempt to bypass the Palestine Liberation Organization will fail, and it has been proven on the ground that the rejection of the Palestine Liberation Organization, with Jordanian support and support from sister and friendly countries, thwarted the Deal of the Century during Trump’s first term in office, and thus his conspiracy to liquidate the Palestinian cause directly, or through his tools during his current term, will be aborted by bypassing the Palestine Liberation Organization as the representative of the Palestinian people.

The Palestine Liberation Organization is the symbol of legitimacy. It was and will remain so. All the plans of the criminal Israeli entity, the United States of America and its axis to target its legitimacy will fail. It is the difficult number. No matter how great the pressures are, the will of the Palestinian people will prevail, God willing.
