<font size=4><b>PFLP: Arab and international pressure to return to
negotiations plays into the hands of the Zionist enemy<br><br>
<br>
</b></font><font size=3>Comrade Jamil Mizher, member of the Central
Committee of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, called
for a total rejection of Arab and international pressure to return to
negotiations, saying that such negotiations only play into the hands of
the Zionist enemy. <br><br>
Comrade Mizher, speaking with Aljazeera.net on January 4, 2009, said that
a return to the futile and harmful negotiations that even the Palestinian
Authority leadership itself have recognized are unsuccessful would only
serve Israeli interests. He said further that relying on the U.S.
administration, which is fully aligned with the occupation, is betting on
mirage and illusion. Comrade Mizher called upon Arab countries to support
restoration of Palestinian national unity and put pressure on the
occupation, not pressure Palestinians to serve the interests of
Israel.<br><br>
The PFLP further condemned these attempts to push Palestinians into
negotiations with the occupier, responding to the occupation authorities'
decision to build a new colony in the Mount of Olives overlooking Al-Aqsa
Mosque, the Dome of the Rock and the Old City. The PFLP statement said
that this action represents the strategic plan of the occupier to
intensify settlements and Judaize Jerusalem and impose transfer upon
Palestinians by forcing Palestinians into isolated, impoverished areas in
an attempt to impose the so-called unified capital of the state of
occupation and racism upon Jerusalem. <br><br>
The statement said that merely ending negotiations is not sufficient to
confront the occupation power, emphasizing the utter disregard for
international law on the part of the occupier and saying that Arab
regimes and the international community are silent and complicit in the
face of the occupation crimes while pushing negotiations, while the
United States and the Quartet directly push the occupation agenda.
<br><br>
The Front emphasized that a complete rejection of the "peace
process" and a comprehensive review of the entire Oslo process,
including an end to the so-called "transitional phase" and
security cooperation is necessary. Furthermore, the PFLP emphasized the
need to develop a united national strategy and unify the Palestinian
house on the basis of democracy, comprehensive national dialogue, and
rebuilding the PLO on the basis of national principles, protecting the
inalienable rights of our people to freedom, self-determination and
return.<br><br>
The PFLP denounced the pressures designed to push Palestinians into the
endless maze of negotiations, saying that any such process is a pursuit
of a deceptive, misleading American and Israeli mirage. It demanded
instead that the parties engaged in this pressure instead put pressure on
the occupier to lift the siege on Gaza, rescue people trapped by disease,
poverty and hunger, who lack the most basic elements of life, and to free
thousands of Palestinian prisoners, and to bring occupation war criminals
to trial before criminal
courts.
