And he continued: "We are advancing practical mechanisms that we firmly believe can be achieved, and that the Palestinian cause and the national movement get out of the bottleneck through the actual announcement of ending the work of the Oslo Accord and the subsequent agreements, stopping all forms of security coordination with the occupation and all economic relations, and withdrawing recognition of the occupying state."

A comprehensive national meeting

And in light of the situation that the forces and factions are going through at the level of the national movement in the West Bank, Gaza and abroad, or the national movement in the occupied interior, an appeal was made to the national forces in the West Bank and the occupied interior to the necessity of arranging a comprehensive national meeting in order to form a national and national front to confront the policy of the occupation in light of the rise of the extreme right Its leaders declare every day that the coming days will witness a series of racist decisions and laws against the Palestinian people at home, specifically in the Galilee and the Negev, and a series of racist laws and measures in the West Bank and Gaza.

Algeria meeting

Knesset elections

He added that the task of the national movement is great, but field unity is the only way to thwart these projects, and national consensus on the program of common denominators is the only option to ensure the strengthening of steadfastness and the escalation of all forms of resistance, and paves the way for a third intifada and national disobedience.
Unipolar retreat
With regard to the developments of the international situation, he stressed that the hegemony of the unipolar pole has begun to decline, as well as the US policy that is hostile to peoples and that robs them of their resources, and in return a new alliance led by Russia and a number of superpowers is advancing that confronts US policy and tries to isolate it by entering into a battle to rebuild a new world order that will not be The United States is the one who controls and dominates the capabilities of peoples.
He added that the isolation of American policy is in the interest of the Palestinian cause, and the political leadership controlling the Palestinian decision is supposed to re-read the situation and the recent international developments towards getting rid of the previous bets, which is still betting on the possibility of the United States being the main sponsor of the political process in the Palestinian cause, despite the experiences. The many that have proven to be partners and supporters of the occupation.

Normalization bets failed

He said: "What we see and hear from the positions of the leftist and progressive parties in the Arab countries and their absolute rejection of the policy of normalization with the occupation is a positive indicator, and that people of all political orientations still reject normalization, and what happened in the World Cup in Qatar confirms that the Arab peoples reject normalization, and that Israel It is still isolated from the Arab world and its people, and it must remain so."
He demanded the unification of all Arab efforts through the progressive parties in a comprehensive meeting, with the Palestinian national movement at the head of this meeting, to form an Arab and progressive national front, and to have a unified position in order to put pressure on rulers and governments who seek to embody relations with the occupying state.
And he indicated that the occupation tried to infiltrate the Arab countries by presenting itself as an advanced and civilized country that fights terrorism, but it failed to convince the Arab peoples of that, and the peoples are still loyal and ready to give everything they have to the Palestinian cause.
