RAMALLAH/GAZA, Oct 24 (NNN-XINHUA) – Palestinians are outraged over the declaration of a normalisation agreement between Israel and Sudan, under U.S. sponsorship.
The Palestinian Presidency affirmed in a statement, its condemnation and rejection of Sudan’s decision to normalise relations with Israel which seizes the land of Palestine.
“No one has the right to speak on behalf of the Palestinian people and the Palestinian cause,” it said.
It also said that, the path to a comprehensive and just peace must be based on international law, resolutions of international legitimacy, and specific references, in a way that leads to ending the Israeli occupation of the land of Palestine.
The statement added that, “the Palestinian leadership will take necessary decisions, to protect the legitimate interests and rights of our Palestinian people.”
Wasel Abu Youssef, member of the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO)’s Executive Committee, told reporters that, Sudan’s decision to normalise ties with Israel constitutes a “new stab in the back of the Palestinian people.”
He added that, Sudan’s move represents a “betrayal of the just Palestinian cause and a departure from the Arab peace initiative.”
Hazem Qassem, Hamas spokesman in Gaza, said that, “normalisation of relations between Sudan and the occupation state is a political sin, harms our Palestinian people and their just cause.”
The Islamic Jihad movement said that, Sudan runs towards Israel and pays huge sums of money to obtain America’s satisfaction, at the expense of the poor and displaced Sudanese.– NNN-XINHUA
