Al-Awda: Abbas Must Step Down
Israel's attack on the Jericho prison, the murder of three Palestinians, and
the kidnapping of Palestinian national leader Ahmad Sa'adat,
Secretary General of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine
(PFLP), and his comrades are aimed at forcing Palestinians to submit to
US-Israeli-British dictates. They reflect an Israeli-British-American
determination to subvert the Palestinians' struggle to reclaim their land
and narrative, and to chart their future as the rightful owners of
Palestine.
If anything, the Jericho assault is a sobering reminder that the Palestinian
people have no choice but to rely on themselves.
Al-Awda, The Palestine Right to Return Coalition, holds the Palestinian
Authority and its president, Mahmoud Abbas, to be, in part, responsible for
the kidnapping of Mr. Sa'adat and his comrades. Therefore, we join with
other Palestinian groups and individuals in demanding Mr. Abbas' immediate
resignation as president of the Palestinian Authority and Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization.
