The leadership is demanding the international community.. and we are demanding it!!

The Executive Committee of the PLO, chaired by President Mahmoud Abbas, met and discussed the criminal and aggressive escalation of the occupation government, the last but not least of which was the heinous massacre in the city of Nablus and the assassination of a girl in the town of Hawara. The Committee called on the international community to provide protection for our people and stop these Israeli crimes. .


In a meeting with the representative of the European Union and a number of Italian writers and writers, the Prime Minister, Dr. Muhammad Shtayyeh, the European Union to condemn the crimes of the occupation and activate international solidarity with our people, and among the most prominent of his crimes is that of the young girl Iman Ziyad Ahmed Odeh, who is the mother of three children, whom they assassinated at a checkpoint of the occupation army in the town of Hawara.


The whole world knows that the occupation is not content with confiscating land, building settlements, and demolishing homes, but rather continues to assassinate our people in various locations, just as settlers continue their attacks, killing and plundering everything they can.


Thus, the occupation continues its attacks, and we continue to ask the international community to intervene, even though we know that this community has done nothing but issue statements and condemnations that have no value.


In this context, if the leaders are demanding, then the people are demanding what is more important, more useful, and more serious, and by that we mean two things. The first is restoring national unity and ending this devastating division, which turns over the years into a fait accompli and permanent. Restoring unity is not a difficult issue if the intentions of the leaders are true. It abandoned personal and factional interests.


The second thing that is no less important is holding presidential and legislative elections in the West Bank and Gaza so that the people can say their word and choose who they want instead of continuing this situation, which weakens our cause and our position and gives the occupation a great opportunity to continue its aggressions, expansion and denial of all our rights.
