Fatahs mål: Palestina från Medelhavet till Jordan

Fatahs ledare Mahmoud Abbas kommer att tala inför FN:s säkerhetsråd i dag. Han kommer knappast att säga det samma som Fatahledare på hemmafronten säger. Nämligen att hela Israel enligt Fatahs åsikt tillhör palestinierna, landet är palestiniernas rättighet enligt islam och ingen palestinsk ledare som vill kunna visa sig på öppen gata kan avstå från någon del av landet.
Det är en palestinsk tradition som går tillbaka till Arafat att föra fram ett budskap inför den internationella publiken och ett annat budskap för hemmapubliken.

Senior Fatah official: "Palestine" stretches from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea and is "waqf" - an inalienable religious endowment in Islamic law

Fatah: All of Israel is forever “Palestine”

– Jaffa, Acre, Haifa, Nazareth, Ramle, Beit Shean, The Negev Desert,

Tiberias, Safed, Jezreel Valley, and Umm Al-Fahm

Abbas’ Fatah is not only saying adamantly “no” to US President Trump’s peace deal, they also insist that all of the State of Israel is “Palestine.” Senior Fatah official Tawfiq Tirawi made this clear in a recent speech when he defined “Palestine” as stretching from “the [Jordan] River to the [Mediterranean] Sea.” Tirawi defined “Palestine” as “waqf,” which is an inalienable religious endowment in Islamic law, and therefore it is forbidden to accept non-Muslim rule over it. He further threatened that any Palestinian leader or official who would agree to a “Palestine” covering only the West Bank and the Gaza Strip and not including all of Israel would be in danger and “not be able to walk one meter in the streets of our Palestinian cities among our people”: 

Fatah Commissioner and Central Committee member Tawfiq Tirawi: “Who said that we are for a state [on the borders of] 1967? Who said this? In Fatah, this does not exist in our constitution and our charter! They [Israel] want Beit El and Ma’ale Adumim (i.e., Israeli towns in the West Bank) to be Israeli, and we say that Nazareth, Haifa, and Acre (i.e., Israeli cities) are Palestinian, and they will remain Palestinian! Our Palestinian land is from the [Jordan] River to the [Mediterranean] Sea. I dare any Palestinian, any senior Palestinian official, or any Palestinian leader to reduce the Palestinian map to the West Bank and Gaza! He would not be able to walk one meter in the streets of our Palestinian cities among our people! … Arab brothers… Be with the Palestinian people, the people that lives on land that is all holy and that is all waqf land (i.e., land that is an inalienable religious endowment in Islamic law.)”
