PALESTINE IS ARAB LAND

Hamas political official in Lebanon, Ali Barakah has saluted senior Shia scholar Sayyed Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah’s recent stance to consider Palestine an “Arab Islamic land that we cannot give away.” In a statement Fadlallah said resistance was “the strategic choice” to liberate Palestine and regain Palestinian rights. In the same statement the Shia scholar issued a fatwa banning the normalisation of ties with Israel. Barakah also praised Future Movement leader Saad Hariri’s plan to grant Palestinian refugees in Lebanon their civil rights. “Such a decision opens the door for a new solution to the Palestinian dossier in Lebanon and all its political, human, judicial, and security aspects,” the Hamas official added.
