"We say to our Arab nation and our Arab homefront that we are on the front line and standing firm, carrying out Ribat (i.e., religious conflict over land claimed to be Islamic) against this aggression and this enemy."
Fatah Central Committee Secretary Jibril Rajoub: “The Israeli fascist terror, which manifested in systematic destruction in the Gaza Strip in an attempt to uproot us from history and geography (i.e., Israel’s response to Hamas’ Oct. 7 war), and the unprecedented Nazi behavior against every inch here in the northern districts (i.e., the West Bank) and against every stone and every person in Jerusalem...
We say to our Arab nation and our Arab homefront that we are on the front line and standing firm, carrying out Ribat (i.e., religious conflict over land claimed to be Islamic) against this aggression and this enemy, which is an enemy of us all and targets the entire region.
It targets your stability, your security, your peace, your maritime passages, your resources, and everything related to our history and heritage...
Jerusalem was and will remain free in every sense, but its freedom will only be completed after sweeping away the criminal Nazi fascist occupation (i.e., Israel).”
