أمين سر «فتح»: تنظيم سلاح الفصائل ضمن أجهزة السلطة الفلسطينية ضروري

The Secretary of the Central Committee of the "Fatah" Movement, Major General Jibril Rajoub, called today (Saturday) for the necessity of organizing the weapons of Palestinian factions within the national authority's institutions, affirming that it represents a national necessity and a political option that has no alternative to ensure the unity of security and military decision-making.

Rajoub stated during a meeting with journalists from Gaza in Cairo: The organization of the weapons of the factions must be done according to Palestinian and international laws, in a way that consolidates the Palestinian state's monopoly on weapons and enhances the elements of good governance in the upcoming phase. He pointed out that Hamas's joining of the Palestine Liberation Organization requires a clear commitment to national constants and the political program of the organization, and that the movement must become part of the Palestinian national liberation movement in its comprehensive form with an Islamic dimension, without being outside the framework of national consensus and legitimate institutions.

Rajoub warned against proposals related to the community support committee that is being promoted to manage the Gaza Strip during a transitional period after the ceasefire, describing it as a formula to entrench division and liquidate the Palestinian cause under the guise of a fragile community initiative. He noted that the only exit is to form a national consensus government immediately, capable of taking charge with a clear national reference, which enhances the unity of the Palestinian position and preserves the constants.

Regarding the mechanisms of national dialogue, Rajoub emphasized the necessity of launching a direct and serious bilateral dialogue between the "Fatah" and "Hamas" movements under Egyptian sponsorship and away from the media, to ensure the preparation of conditions conducive to the success of any political agreement. He pointed out that the dialogue should pave the way for a comprehensive national dialogue based on the unity of political and organizational concepts, including agreement on a unified vision for the political solution, a common concept for resisting occupation, a state with one law and one weapon, ensuring public freedoms, and building a partnership based on comprehensive general elections.

He indicated that President Mahmoud Abbas bears a historical responsibility at this stage that requires working on four basic priorities to reorganize the national house, explaining that these priorities include holding a general conference for the "Fatah" Movement to renew its internal legitimacy and inject new blood into its organizational structure, in addition to restructuring the Palestine Liberation Organization and forming a new National Council based on democratic principles that ensure the representation of all Palestinian components both in the homeland and in the diaspora.

He pointed out that stopping the genocide in the Gaza Strip is a priority that cannot be postponed, alongside halting the Israeli escalation measures in the West Bank and Jerusalem, especially those aimed at suffocating the Palestinian presence and imposing displacement realities on the ground. He called for the necessity of focusing national efforts on providing relief to the residents of the Strip, preventing their displacement, providing the elements of steadfastness, enhancing the unity of the "Fatah" Movement, and reactivating the institutions of the Palestine Liberation Organization as the legitimate and only framework capable of representing the Palestinian people in international forums.
