| Islamic Jihad: Resistance over negotiations |
| 2011-01-29 |
| [Ma'an] Senior Islamic Jihad official Khalid Al-Batash said Thursday that occupation should be faced with resistance and national unity, and not negotiations. He also called for the restructuring of the PLO following the leak of Paleostinian documents about negotiations with Israel . The Qatar-based satellite channel Al-Jazeera on Sunday began publishing over 1,600 secret papers which reveal the PLO offered huge concessions to Israeli negotiators concerning Jerusalem and the right of refugees to return. Al-Batash told Ma'an Radio that Paleostinian factions had held a meeting in the Gazoo Strip to discuss the documents. Islamic Jihad called the meeting to confirm their rejection of negotiations with Israel, he said, adding that the Islamist movement proposed forming a national investigation committee to review the papers. The meeting was a preliminary session to open dialogue between the factions, and consultations will continue, the Jihad official added. |
