Ziad al-Nakhala: The Gaza Strip is the solution in the minds of the Americans and Israel, and the factional dialogue is a waste of time, and we expect a major shock within Fatah

Al-Nakhaleh explains in his statements to the episode (23/2022) that the solution to the Palestinian problem is found in the Israeli and American mind, and requires finding a geography that is a state of representation for the Palestinian people, and that the evidence indicates that they have identified the Gaza Strip, and are pushing this direction with the region, because Israel does not want The Strip considers its residents to be Palestinians, and it is a "terrorist gathering" in its eyes and in the eyes of the Arab regime.

As for the West Bank - according to Al-Nakhla - it will be a Palestinian community in the "state" of Israel, and housing for Palestinian workers who work in Israel and its settlements. Al-Nakhla confirms that more than 150,000 Palestinian workers work in Israeli settlements, according to official figures, and perhaps their number is estimated at tens of thousands.

In recent years, Israel has seized - he adds - a large part of the West Bank, more than half of it at the level of agricultural and other lands, while the number of settlers has reached more than 800,000, and "the settlements are entire cities and their people are armed."

According to Nakhaleh, what is happening in the West Bank proves the failure of the PLO project to establish a Palestinian state in the West Bank.

The authority has also turned into security agencies that serve on Israeli security and take a fee for that, noting that the sources of its funding come from one camp, the European countries and the United States.

He added that the Arab countries that used to pay funding to the Palestine Liberation Organization do not dare to pay either to Mahmoud Abbas' authority or to the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) without the American signature.

He explained that America had adopted the project to rehabilitate the Palestinians so that they could coexist with Israel, and the authority had no other choice, pointing out that President Abbas had adopted an "open peace" on the way of the Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi, and he is fully convinced that the Palestinians cannot fight Israel.

Al-Nakhala expected that a major shake-up would occur within the Palestinian National Liberation Movement (Fatah) in the absence of President Abbas as a result of the differences, the absence of another political program and the futility of the political process, noting that the elements and rules of Fatah have become disbeliever in the current authority’s project, and it is possible for another Fatah to come with visions New.

The Palestinians have lost their compass

Al-Nakhala spoke to Al-Muqabala about the practical, economic and political pressures that he said are being exerted on the Palestinian forces in order to recognize Israel, and stressed that the Islamic Jihad movement is not obliged to follow the same path that the PLO and Fatah have taken.

He asked, "Are all Palestinian forces required to try again and reach the dead end?", referring to the outcome reached by the PLO.

The Jihad leader asserts that the movement has a clear vision on the issue of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, different from the rest of the other resistance factions, as Israel considers a Western project in the region that the Jews were used to implement.

He identifies a point of distinction for the movement in that it understands that the Zionist project is based on the complete abolition of the Palestinian people, and says that the forces of revolution and resistance should re-read this project, "What does it want? How did it rise? And how can it be confronted?"

and prepare the tools to confront it.

He also believes that the Palestinians have lost the compass in the midst of their conflict with Israel and are putting forward initiatives for a solution as if they created the problem, considering that the dialogue of the Palestinian factions is a waste of time, and reconciliation will not occur without the approval of Israel, which controls geography, security and the economy.

 Iran is an ally and provides aid to Jihad and Hamas

On the other hand, the Secretary-General of Islamic Jihad considered it an exaggeration to say that the Jihad movement is almost Iran, describing it as an ally of the Jihad movement and the Palestinian people, and its political stances are hostile to Israel and supportive of the resistance.

He revealed that Iran provides general aid to the Islamic Jihad movement that barely meets its needs in its current situation, in addition to military aid, and that it has provided military aid over the past years to Gaza, especially to the Islamic Jihad and Hamas, but the latter enjoys the lion's share of financial and military support.

And about Iran’s interference against the choices of the peoples in Syria, Yemen and Lebanon, Al-Nakhala - who took over the General Secretariat of Jihad in 2018, succeeding the late Ramadan Shallah - says that their position has not changed, and that they and Iran stand against the American policy and Israel, while the Arab regime goes to Israel and opens up to it and its policy. Loyal to the United States, whose weapons are killing the Palestinian people.

He also sees that the files that Iran accuses of meddling in are individual files, "the Syrian, Yemeni and Lebanese file, and each of them has its own merits." On this basis, the United States and Israel provided aid to the regime of Bashar al-Assad.
