PFLP Rejects the Formation of PA Emergency Government

A spokesperson for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine
commented on President Arafat's declaration of the State of Emergency
and the formation of Emergency Government with the following
statement:

As the Israeli aggression continues against our people, backed
completely by the US administration, with its latest aggression
against Palestinian refugees in Syria, the Israeli declaration on
continuing to build the Apartheid racist wall, the establishment of
hundreds of new settlement units, and the continuation of
assassinations and invasions across Palestinian areas.

As all of this takes place, the declaration of the State of Emergency
and the formation of the emergency government do not meet the
Palestinians immediate needs. The Palestinians immediate needs call
for the formation of a Unified National Leadership with the
participation of all active political forces and can function as the
highest legitimate representation for our people, and can also be the
sole leadership that represents the unity of the people and
strengthens our resistance and steadfastness in the battle against
our enemy and its plans.

The Israeli right wing government is carrying out more crimes against
our people, practicing the worst forms of State Terror, and blatantly
rejecting all UN resolutions, denying us our basic human and national
rights. Therefore, it is a harmful illusion for the PA to keep
running after deceitful promises, giving away more concessions,
insisting on the undemocratic decision making and the concentration
of power in the hands of the PA. Such actions are harmful to
Palestinian internal unity. Instead, we call for a unified national
political agenda, which strengthens our internal front, unifies our
political discourse and protects the national rights of our people
under a unified leadership capable of responding to the necessities
of this stage in our struggle.
