Palestinian weapons 'only for resistance'
Fatah Central Committee Secretary Farouk Qaddoumi said that the Palestinian weapons are for "resistance and nothing more."
"Resistance," of course, is subject to a wide range of definitions... | Qaddoumi was speaking following a meeting on Friday in the Rashidieh camp with the secretary of Fatah Movement in Lebanon, one of the largest factions of the Palestinian Liberation Organization Colonel Sultan Abu al-Aynayn. "We are with the resistance and in 1990 we gave in all heavy weapons and what remains are the light weapons," he added.
Commenting on the purpose of his trip to Lebanon, Qaddoumi said: "I didn't ask to meet with any of the Lebanese officials during this visit but at the beginning of the new year, a Palestinian delegation will come to Lebanon to meet with Lebanese officials when they believe they are ready to do discuss the Palestinian-Lebanese relations."
